According to PFT:
On the other side of the ball, Angelo still covets Ogunleye, who has confirmed that he'll sit out a full 10 games of the 2004 season if he doesn't receive a long-term deal from the Dolphins. Ogunleye, according to the Miami Herald, wants a deal with a signing bonus in the range of $14 million to $16 million, similar to the contract signed last month by Jevon Kearse and Grant Wistrom.
Assuming the Bears and Dolphins can work out a trade for Ogunleye, Angelo would be required to come up with some cap room. We're hearing that the Bears might consider dumping defensive tackles Bryan Robinson or Alfonso Boone and/or cornerback R. W. McQuarters.
With the Vikings adding Kenechi Udeze in round one last Saturday, the Fins have less leverage for any trade talks with the Bears. Still, we can't envision Miami accepting less than a first-rounder for Ogunleye, especially when they can get six games out of him in 2004 and trade him from under the franchise tag in 2005.
