[CBFF] ESPN - DT Adams will sign a four-year contract with Bears

[Jason Cetina]

Is it me, or are the rich Bears getting richer this off season? They've
added a couple of good players so far, with only Thomas Jones departing
(which I don't view as a big loss). I'd still like to see some young
blood come in on the OL, but that might be via the draft.

I'm sort of drooling thinking about our new depth in the defensive
backfield, and the return of T. Harris.

I hope I'm not spilling too much blue and orange kool-aid on my shirt,
but things are looking pretty good at the moment to me.
