McClellin ranks near middle of class
With the 15th pick of the NFL draft in April, the Seahawks chose defensive end Bruce Irvin. Four picks later, the Bears chose defensive end Shea McClellin. If the Bears had picked 15th and the Seahawks 19th, it's possible Irvin would be a Bear and...

Dan Pompei's NFL power rankings
1. Packers: The addition of Cedric Benson could give the Packers a dimension they lacked. 2. Giants: They are a little beat up at cornerback, but their pass rush should be able to compensate while they get healthy. 3. Patriots: Questions about the...

Facing long odds, Wilson hasn't come up short
Being short has cost Russell Wilson money, not touchdowns. The quarterback from Wisconsin fell to the Seahawks in the third round in the NFL draft and was the sixth quarterback taken because he measures is 5 feet 105/8. He might need a step stool to...

Dan Pompei's NFL power rankings
Last week's rankings in parenthesis. 1. Cardinals (1): They have won eight in a row at home. Even if a lot of the victories have been ugly, they still count. 2. Falcons (2): Successful teams always catch breaks. The Falcons caught one Sunday, and then...Tags: Green Bay Packers, Peyton Manning, Jacksonville Jaguars, Oakland Raiders, New York Giants

Flacco-Ravens contract talks should be interesting
NEW ORLEANS — If the thought of playing out the last year of his contract makes Jay Cutler uncomfortable, he might want to consider the case of Joe Flacco. The Ravens quarterback is in the last year of his deal. But he's not uncomfortable now....

Mercilus wants to prove worth to Bears
In the April draft, the Bears chose Shea McClellin in the first round and passed over Illinois' Whitney Mercilus. On Sunday, during his first visit to Soldier Field, Mercilus would like to offer them a not-so-subtle reminder of that — perhaps by...

Bates' job: Bring Cutler's game back to the future
Alshon Jeffery was brought to Chicago to help take Jay Cutler's game to a place it has never been. And Jeremy Bates was brought to Chicago to take Cutler's game to a place it once was. If Cutler was not playing the best football of his life last fall,...

Jeffery a controversial pick for Bears
If Shea McClellin was a conservative pick in the NFL draft, wide receiver Alshon Jeffery was a slightly risky one and safety Brandon Hardin was a daring one. It makes sense to go further out on the ledge in the second round than the first, and further...

Fading Bears need change -- the sooner the better
Of all the noise surrounding the Bears' 21-13 loss to the Packers on Sunday, general manager Phil Emery easily could ignore the pregame chatter that revealed his team as one unable to back up big talk. Emery could tune out telling boos from a fed-up fan...

Texans' Williams should be Bears' top free-agent target

Hanie has ability to make most of opportunity
A chance encounter in his hometown of Dallas before Super Bowl XLV put Caleb Hanie in front of Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway.
A bit awestruck, the suddenly relevant Bears quarterback listened as Elway offered words of encouragement for Hanie's play...Tags: Tim Tebow, Green Bay Packers, Oakland Raiders, Sports, Tyler Palko
