Big signings right off the bat:
ILB Mercury Brennan, a 6'1, 249 run stuffer who has been playing with the Giants. Rated 60/60 and 84 in run D, he will give Dexter Lucas a solid backup and may even slide over to SLB. Surprisingly signs dirt cheap.
DE Shannon Lincoln, a 6'5, 286 pass rusher who has been playing for the Bengals. Rated 55/55, Lincoln had 7.5 sacks, 23 hurries and 26 knockdowns last season and will ensure depth for the Bears' pass rush.
S Joseph Mayes, a 5'11, 195 ballhawk with solid tackling fundamentals. Rated 51/53, Mayes may play 4-4 safetybacker or FS, depending on what happens in the draft.
Other quick signings: G Mel Giles (35/35), WR Dusty Kennedy (27/33), OT Eric Hesse (41/41 - boost over 40 after signing)
With the signing of S Joseph Mayes, Keevil loses his luster. Offer withdrawn.
