Could Kurt Warner Really be a Chicago Bear Next Year?

If you're looking for a break from non-stop Super Bowl coverage, your wish has been granted. Kurt Warner's agent is making some news by getting the free agency fires started early and he's in Chicago floating rumors that his client is ready test the free agent waters. The Bears are certainly a team that's in the market for a quaterback and their GM admits that they've discussed (internally of course b/c they can't talk to Warner or his agent yet) bringing in Waner "a couple of times." At the same time, Warner still won't even commit to playing next season when he was asked this week about retirement.

I don't have any idea what Warner's plans are next year, but I'd be willing to bet a fortune (or at least all the money I have which isn't much considering the current diaper budget in the Hawk household) that he won't be playing in Chicago. Can anyone imagine him playing in a cold weather city where he'll have to play in the snow for the second half of the season? Not only is that idea a stretch, but I also can't see him going to a team that's built to run the ball and play defense? Not to mention I have a real hard time believing he'd trade in Fitz, Boldin and Breaston for Devin Hester, Rashied Davis and Brandon Lloyd.

And that's even considering that the Cardinals wont offer him a new deal..

I really cant imagine him going to a team that doesnt play in a dome, with not much talent at receiver. No disrespect to the Bears, Hester seems to be up and coming, but he cant compare to Fitz or Q.

I commented as much on the WCG blog this AM

I didn’t mention the receivers but the windy city and Warner’s passes wouldn’t mix well in my mind.

Also we have to remember that Warner visited Chicago right after Arizona when he was a free-agent in ‘05. After visiting them he shut down his search, didn’t visit Detroit as scheduled, and came back to Arizona to sign a one year contract for $3 million. What could possibly more alluring to him in Chicago for ‘09 than in Arizona? Does he want to uproot seven kids? I just don’t see it happening.

And the weather.

Its just too much for Kurt. Really cant see this. Im sure he would rather go to a team with a dome. Maybe he’ll try the Lions? lol. They have a dome and Calvin Johnson. Can you imagine him getting the Lions to the Super Bowl? NAAAA, stay here Kurt.
