[CBFF] Bear tracks: Booker, draft tidbits & extra points

[Tom Shannon]

*** Now that the fast and loose spending is pretty much wrapped up in free agency, teams are looking for bargain buys. Wide receiver Rashied Davis, a restricted free agent, just might be one of those. The Kansas City Chiefs are believed to be interested in him, and why not, they have only four receivers on their roster—Dwayne Bowe, Jeff Webb, Bobby Sippio and Maurice Price.

Davis would probably be angling for a three- or four-year deal in an offer sheet. The Bears tendered him at the low level of $927,000 and had informal discussions about a potential multi-year contract at the combine.

Another reason to keep plenty of cap space available.  You don’t want to back yourself into a position where you are susceptible to a poison pill contract.  Hell, they might already have a deal worked out with Harris but we might not know for a while yet.
