[Bears] Bears To Negotiate With DE Adewale Ogunleye?

Beat writer Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune says that the Bears could negotiate with impending unrestricted free agent defensive end Adewale Ogunleye at some point. The passing of Gaines Adams will likely force to the Bears to rethink their plans at defensive end. Ogunleye had 6 1/2 sacks in 14 games last season before fracturing his fibula, he'll test the market but may not find it too kind as he enters his age-33 season.

wondering what kind of coin this guy will command.

Thats the part i'm afraid of. He's been good but not great and not deserving of a ridiculus contract. At his age, I can see him getting no more then a 2 or 3 year deal at most. I hope the Bears draft a DE that Ogunleye could take under his wing (if he resigns with the Bears) for a year or two, then plug right in there once Ogunleye is gone.
