Chester Taylor will stay in the NFC North.

The former Viking agreed to a four-year, $12 million contract with Chicago, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. $7 million is guaranteed in the first year.

The Bears are just getting their checkbook warmed up, with a deal for Julius Peppers on the way shortly.

Taylor's contract, like the one for Kyle Vanden Bosch, includes a lot of front-loaded money in the uncapped year. Look for Taylor and Matt Forte to split up the workload in Chicago next season.

This reminds me of an internet cliche: Wow, just wow.

Glad the Texans passed on that.

True, but they also gave Peppers $41 mill guaranteed. A 30 year old, six year deal with big guaranteed money at a position that relies on the speed from his legs. There needs to be some sort of front office drug testing program. Between the Bears and the Falcons....... I think there is some very heavy drug use going on.

Wow, as much as I wish we took Peppers over some guy named Carr, that is a ton of $ to give a guy at this stage of his career.

I wonder how much Mario will get on his next deal.
