Any chance in getting either of these guys?

[BABronco]

Thomas Jones-signed a four-year contract with the Bears on March 3, 2004. The deal is worth approximately $10 million and includes a signing bonus of about $3.5 million.
In need of a decent qb. Might be able to package Plummer and something for him.

Marino Barber-Barber agreed to a five-year deal on July 28, 2005. The contract will likely void to three years based on playing time incentives. He will receive minimum salaries of $230,000, $310,000, and $385,000 the first three years
Idk how we could get him but I wouldn't mind.

Michael Turner-Turner signed a three-year contract with the Chargers in July 2004. Terms were not disclosed
No way the chargers will let him go to us would they?

No.

[OrangeShadow]

maybe thomas jones but not barber and especially not turner, he would cost a 1st

[Clockwork Orange]

1. Chicago is much more likely to try and unload Benson than Jones.

2. Parcells loves Barber, he's not going anywhere.

3. Turner would cost a 1st rounder on top of the contract he'd demand. I'd prefer not to hand our 1st rounder over to a division rival.

[That One Guy]

Initial rumors are that since Jones has come on so well, it'll be Benson who finds himself on the block. I personally really like Barber but wouldn't say I'd bet a whole lot that he could turn around our run game to the point we need it. Noone knows yet how he'll do outside of a RBBC. While Turner is pretty good, I think he'll be overhyped this offseason.

[TheChamp24]

Parcells has said he really likes Barber and probably won't give him up, he prefers to have 2 HB's on his squad.
Thomas Jones is the only one we would have a shot at. The Bears prefer Benson, and Benson is loads better. Jones is getting old though.
Turner I would love to get, but he would cost a 1st no doubt. He is a RFA, the only FA.

What about Benson then?

Stop drinking beer!

Jones isnt 30 yet. We could ride him till we could afford to draft a great back. I personally think we have too much to fix right now to take a rb in the 2nd or 3rd.

[Clockwork Orange]

I've never been a fan of Benson. I'd also prefer not to inherit his top 5 pick contract.

Good point. I'll explain, I have been drinking.

solid answer. I agree.

[cutthemdown]

Plummer won't get you squat.

[Barry Ramey]

Benson could be available, but I'd be surprised if the Broncos went after him that hard. I'm guessing Chris Brown and a mid round draft pick on a RB.

One thing about point 2 -- what if Parcells isn't back next year?

What about a RB in the first then? 2nd or 3rd?...get real.

[illbroncsfn]

The Bears prefer Benson, and Benson is loads better.

Take this as gospel- The Bears are loving Cedric right now

Cedric Benson will not be a Denver Bronco next year period....
