The funny thing is that on radio interviews he has said he would come back for a big contract. Draft choices are great, but give me a 2 time pro-bowl player that's 26 with no injury history

I know he didn't have the "Franchise Tag" per se, but I still remember when Bears Safety Todd Bell sat out an entire season because of a contract dispute with the team.
