There is going to be a lot of interest from other teams. The Bears have done a good job of keeping the lines of communication open. It's difficult to say if we will be able to get a deal done.

The agents and players that wait around for that big deal could be stung. In that sense it's not that different from years past. One thing I know for sure is that teams will do what they need to do to put the best players they can on the field.
