In Chicago, Bears viewed as favorites to land Mario Williams 

by Michael David Smith

Two years ago the Bears made a big move in free agency to land one of the NFL’s most talented pass rushers. And they may now be poised to do it again.

With Mario Williams set to become an unrestricted free agent on Tuesday afternoon, the Bears are planning a push to sign him, teaming him up with Julius Peppers in what would give the Bears a pair of outside rushers unmatched by anyone in the NFL.

In fact, according to John “Moon” Mullin of CSNChicago.com, multiple NFL sources say the Bears are the favorites to sign Williams , the former No. 1 overall pick of the Texans.

The Bears have plenty of cap space and have made clear that they want to improve their pass rush in free agency. There’s no better way to do that than signing Williams.

Although Williams suffered a torn pectoral muscle and played just five games last season, he’s expected to be back to full strength and ready to go this year. If he and Peppers are on the same team, the Monsters of the Midway are going to have a fearsome pass rush.

They better load up on defense.. because as long as they have Cutler under center and his fragile confidence and ego.. they better not rely upon their offense to take them home.

Can't lie, when I first read that, it sent chills up my Aaron Rodgers spine.

True.

Cutler is somewhat of an enigma (as I called Randy Moss earlier this evening).. He'll have games where it looks like he's a Pro Bowl QB. Then he'll have a bunch of games where he looks like he has NO clue what he's doing.

Physical tools isn't his problem, but what's between his ears.

I don't even think it's that. If you give Cutler time, he's a pretty dang good QB. But I saw him once get sacked NINE times in the first half before he was knocked out of the game. Yes, that's not a typo. NINE times in the 1st half.

If Cutler has a fault, it's da Bears' OL. It's not Cutler. I wouldn't put him in the Elite category by any means, but he's better than average at the least.

I hate the Bears, as much as anyone, but this move is a game-changer in the division.

Mario & Julius is scary.

They won't win anything though before they either get rid of Cutler or fix that offensive line.

Cutler looked pretty damn elite on the Bears run last year for about 5-6 games right before he got injured. As did the team in general.

He's really good player, but Mario Williams changes the discussion. I think the Bears give the Packers a run for their money with Williams in the fold.
