Chris Bosh is a free agent this off-season. Bet you didn't know that. Most people think that he's as good as gone from the Raptors. Now, this may just be my point as a Raptors fan, but I think that the Raptors have as good a chance at signing Bosh than anybody.

The Chicago Bears' 2009 draft, which was depleted after trading for Jay Cutler, made little to no noise in its first season, outside of Johnny Knox. Jarron Gilbert and Henry Melton, the "top" picks, saw little and no playing time, respectively.
Once again, missing a 1st round pick to the Cutler trade and their 2nd from Gaines Adams, who tragically passed away, the Bears were once again short on ammunition this ...

They also signed safety Sean Jones and linebacker Jon Alston. But other than that, the Bucs were on the sidelines watching teams make big trades and free agent signings.

Posted: 25th April 2010 by JP Frederick in NFL
The Minnesota Vikings spent the NFL draft prioritizing the backup running back position; drafting a quarterback who will play wide receiver and a linebacker who will play fullback; and selecting Penn State's backup tight end.
And their fans looked on and wondered: Why?
Why not trade up for potential starting offensive lineman such as Mike Iupati or Maurkice Pouncey? Why allow Detroit to snag Jahvid Best? Why draft a high-upside, underachiever from ...
