According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Bucs have sent the fourth overall pick in the 2007 draft to Chicago for a 2010 draft pick. According to the Chicagobears.com, the bears gave up a second-round selection. That means the Bears won’t have first round and second round picks for the second straight draft.
This is a surprise move considering the Bears have been very good at getting to the quarterback this season. But you have to remember Adewale Ogunleye, who is leading the team this season with four and half sacks will be a free agent after this season along with fellow defensive end Mark Anderson.
Gaines Adams disappointed many in Tampa Bay including their head coach Raheem Morris, but the Bears probably think defensive line coach Rod Marinelli will get the first round potential out of Adams. Adams has appeared in 37 games with 29 starts in three seasons, registering 86 tackles, 13½ sacks, two interceptions and two forced fumbles. I like this trade a lot considering how good of player Adams can be, but I really like Adewale Ogunleye and I think this trade signals the end of his time with the Bears. Ogunleye will demand a lot of money this off-season, but the Bears won’t want to give a 33 year old player that kind of dough, I think they’ll go younger and keep Anderson and Adams over Ogunleye. Gaines Adams is signed through 2012, so if he looks good this season the Bears will look very smart. Adams won’t take over Ogunleye’s starting spot, but he’ll be part of the rotation.
