So the Bears won’t give the heart and soul of their line and their locker room, not to mention their best offensive lineman from a season ago, Olin Kreutz 4.5 million over 1 year, but they’ll throw 6 million over 2 years to the mediocre Chris Spencer. The Bears locker room is really upset that they didn’t bring back Kreutz, who is considering retirement now. This is very bad for the Bears, especially in a lockout shortened season. Cutler won’t have familiarity with his new center and doesn’t have a lot of time to develop it.
