Can the Bears Bare T.O.?

Before I make my point, let me offer you a few facts.

Thanks to the Jay Cutler trade, the Bears are missing their 1st and 3rd round pick in this year's NFL Draft. 

The team's current wide receiver corps consists of Devin Hester, Earl Bennett, Johnny Knox, and Devin Aromashodu. 

They have brought in personnel, perceived as malcontents from other teams, such as Jay Cutler, Mike Martz, and Julius Peppers. 

Their two best defensive players, Tommie Harris and Brian Urlacher, are aging veterans and have had injury problems in recent seasons. 


Team President, Ted Phillips, was quoted as saying, “There’s a fine line sometimes between winning and losing, but we expect to win now in 2010.” That means General Manager, Jerry Angelo, and Head Coach, Lovie Smith, have to win now.

So my question is: why not sign Terrell Owens? If the key players in the organization are looking to win now, sign the future Hall of Fame receiver for one year.


He is not the deep threat he once was, but he still runs excellent routes and is not afraid to go over the middle. He could teach the Bears' young receivers a trick or two along the way.


Perhaps the Bears are waiting to see what will be available at the receiver postion during the draft, but signing a veteran like Owens before hand could allow you to draft for another position.


I'm no NFL G.M., but this one seems like a no-brainer. Then again, so did the Bears drafting Curtis Enis.
