Good Luck to him, but like just about all Linemen we let walk; his performance will lack

Re: Bears sign Brian De La Puente
 

1 year deal? Looks like there was virtually no interest in his services. I have a feeling we'll be better off with Lelito.

This front office knows a thing or two. I'll bet you're right.

Re: Bears sign Brian De La Puente
 

Agree. And this:

"As explained by Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, de la Puente is expected to back up Roberto Garza in Chicago"

Re: Bears sign Brian De La Puente
 

Only to back up? Wow. He wasn't that bad....and Garza's not that good.

Re: Bears sign Brian De La Puente
 

Lelito isn't the answer. Draft a center.

Re: Bears sign Brian De La Puente
 

Says it all.

vet minimum. $65,000 signing bonus and $100,000 base salary guaranteed.

Being a starting C is more than just blocking. He was a serviceable blocker, looked lost at times in the screen, and Drew was calling the line.


It's not just a Saints opinion. He is headed to his sixth team and isn't expected to start.

The o-line seems to puzzle some fans, they think DLP is a keeper and Grubs is horrible.
