Chicago Bears Favorites for Julius Peppers



The Chicago Bears could soon have their man as they are expected to sign Julius Peppers.

Peppers is expected to be in Chicago early to discuss a contract, and the Bears have been very clear that they are not planning on letting him leave without a contract in place.

The Bears are in a tough place this free agency period with the lack of a first or second round pick, and are in a prime position to overpay for the guy they want.

That guy is Julius Peppers.

The deal should be one that will best the deal given to Albert Haynesworth last off-season by the Washington Redskins.

When the deal is in place, expect it to be along the lines of six or seven years, worth anywhere from $110-$115 million with $45-$50 million guaranteed.

The Bears are in desperation mode with no picks until the third round, and must make a splash and build through free agency.
