Yeah, I want Blackmon back too. But I wanna add a productive young CB to the mix as well.

I didn’t realize Johnson was a free agent… he’d be nice considering him and Blackmon were teammates in college

Supposedly Chicago is interested in retaining his services. It has been rumored for the last 1-2 months that the Bears will tag him if they cannot agree to terms on a new deal.

I guess talks could breakdown and he could try to force his way out of the Windy City but it will probably require a tag-and-trade. So there is a good chance that the Colts would have to send Chicago some draft picks in addition to extending a big contract offer.

I'd rather they sign Sneed if they're going the veteran route.

I don’t want either…. They played on an aggressive style defense and didn’t have to cover long… quite the opposite of the sit back in zone and make the tackle style of defense we play here

Not only that, but I doubt Ballard will be willing to cough up the cash to sign either of them.
