Long’s time short

I don't think Long was right after that guy rolled his knee in the 3rd preseason game. The shoulder thing is troubling though.
I would still think that with a full offseason to heal up he could come back to being a top-ten tackle... or become an even better guard.

I remember watching Boselli's career fall off a cliff due to injury. It's a shame, but it happens. Jake wasn't good this year. He wasn't good last year. We need better play than that from our LT. A lot of you want to re-sign him hoping he'll rebound back to 3 years ago, but the injuries might just make that unrealistic.

My prediction is Long will be with the Bears next year, they are already talking about it here in Chicago drooling that Long is a FA, I hate the bears by the way, They are gonna go after him strong and I dont think Miami will try and compete with a high offer. Bears O-line is horrible and they desperately need him.

thats why i said days ago you franchise him. teams will still love him even if finheaven does not.

we could also offer him a contract around 7-8 mil, if his agent says no you franchise him. fact is teams will want him. surprised by stupidity. if you get stuck with him your on the hook for one year, not five. and you have one more year to find his replacement instead of rd. 1 pick being a G or T.duh

I agree, as much as I like jake, that position is no longer a major priority (Martin). We should however, bring back Reggie, Starks, and hartline, (maybe smith).

well I hope no bears fan jumps on finheaven, where they will learn that jake long is a ****ty tackle, ranked on some website as 22nd out of 32 starting LT's, hell... they will fall right out of love with him....

I look at it this way. Philbin has seen him play up close this year and this year only. He goes on IR after an average year, if you were the coach what would you do? Make him the highest paid player on the team?... just don't see it happening. Especially with how we discarded marshal and davis, IMO he is going to another team.

Thats great I will love watching Cutler get planted everytime someone blows past Jake.

If Long doesnt want to take a team friendly contract closer to his worth lets let him go, why waste salary cap room on a guy who is not the same player he has been

Anybody who wants to get rid of Long has no clue about football, Unless he wants an outrageous amount of money getting rid of a top 10 LT is a mistake

WAS A TOP 10 and with all the injuries he has the last 3 years , the man cant stay healthy , and Martin is doin just fine playin in his spot, the only way i would bring Long bk is he would have to take a paycut and be able to play RT and if not , seeee ya BIG JAKE.
