Bears Update, or, He signed, thank you Lord.

You go away for a day and, boy howdy, don't things pick up steam. Needless to say it is a sweltering day in Jersey and all is peaceful here at homeplate. The High Cheese is feeling great and ready to celebrate, but first I must update.

Congratulations everyone! Cedric Benson signed a five-year deal. That means that the Bears now have their first round draft pick in pads and competing for a job against the third and fourth ranked rushers in the preseason (Adrian Peterson and Thomas Jones) on a team ranked eighth in the league in rushing. This is also following the official announcement that rookie Kyle Orton will be the team's starting quarterback this season (but I thought Hutchinson was getting the system now? Oh wait, he still throws like a blind girl...that's right.).
