He's no longer a Bear. Things are looking up.

Great news for Allen! Congrats. I think the Bears must realize that they are truly terrible this year and are beginning the rebuilding process.

Wow, that was a nice pay day for Allen. Cant even imagine making that much money, or spending that much money and just trading him. At least he is off the Bears, and has a chance to go somewhere with the Panthers.

Allen sucked with the Bears anyway, I cant believe anyone would trade for him.

I normally like Everson, but he kinda seemed like a jerk in some of those clips.

I liked his exchange with Rivers though.

haha I don't even care. Rivers likes to run his mouth. I'm guessing thats just his competitive side but who knows

@Andrew_Krammer Xavier Rhodes has passed the concussion protocol, per Zimmer
@mattvensel Charles Johnson, Jarius Wright, Andrew Sendejo and Justin Trattou are not practicing today, per @Cmillstrib. Xavier Rhodes was practicing.
@Andrew_Krammer Trattou (ankle), Johnson (ribs) and Sendejo (leg) were all injured in Sunday's game. We'll know more on Wright when injury report comes out.
@christomasson With both WRs Charles Johnson and Jarius Wright not practicing today, obviously worth keeping an eye on. But #Vikings have lots of WR depth
--Diggs/Patterson
@GoesslingESPN Teddy Bridgewater will make his 16th career start on Sunday. "I think I'm making a ton of progress," he said.
@Andrew_Krammer Teddy Bridgewater said one area he feels he's grown in is making checks at the line, "getting us in the right play."
@mattvensel I asked Teddy if we will ever see him flapping his arms like Peyton and yelling, "Omaha!" He laughed and said no. #asexpected
@Andrew_Krammer Zimmer: "Theres probably not a blitz we can devise or a coverage that (Peyton Manning) has not seen."
@PFF The Broncos have pressured opposing QBs on 50% of their dropbacks this season. By far the highest rate in the NFL.
-- Good luck, Teddy

I'm guessing Diggs will be active this week. Hopefully we can see something big out of him

@christomasson #Vikings WR Adam Thielen got work with first team in practice Wednesday Candidate to start if Charles Johnson, Jarius Wright both out Sunday
@GoesslingESPN ESPN's Football Power Index rates #Vikings as the most efficient special teams unit in the league. Teams starting from own 13 after punt.
@christomasson #Vikings WR Stefon Diggs on possible 1st activation Sunday: “Whatever coach decides, I’m just going to prepare the right way and be ready.’’
@Andrew_Krammer Peterson spoke highly of Von Miller, DeMarcus Ware today: "58, 94, those guys [have] to get hit every play.. That's our best chance to win."
@christomasson #Vikings WR Charles Johnson (ribs) on his status for Sunday at Denver: “We’ll see. Don’t know. Still just trying to get right.’’
@Andrew_Krammer Peterson, asked about #Vikings going all under center runs last week: "(Norv) has made some good adjustments. I can't tell him what to do"
-- Norv adapting...

Not sure where else to put this so I'll put it here: Bengals' contract-year LT Whitworth signed a one-year deal recently with the team so he won't be on the free agent OT list following this season. He was a guy I thought the Vikings could sign depending on the health/play of Kalil & Loadholt.

@PFF Matt Kalil has allowed 3 pressures this season. At this point a year ago he had allowed 3 sacks and 14 pressures.
