The Bears appear to be looking towards running back with the #4 pick

That is what I was reading on the rumor mill report on sportsline this morning. Word is they are targeting Cedric Benson.

I don't understand this. Why pay all that money for Thomas Jones, if you are going to go and pay even more money for another RB this year? why not just resign A-train for less? Unless they plan to trade away Jones, or they know something else is wrong.

maybe they are just now concluding that both Jones and A-Train are not the answer for RB.

That could end up being a very expensive lesson. A-train is an UFA, but Jones just got signed to big, big dollars last year. With all thier other needs, I find it hard to believe they go rb...but then again, who knows.
