you are bears GM

[smazza]

would you give hester new deal or let him hold out

he is schedule to make 435k this year

i probably would sign him to an extension because of extraordinary year in had

[Matt]

he is a valuable part of their team with his ability to control field position but just how much are they willing to pay him.  if they pay him want he wants then he will need to become more of an every down type of player.  with the salary cap the way it is...you cant shell out huge amounts of money to a guy who only plays on special teams.

[Bruce Blingstein]

He is the only skilled player they have on offense and special teams, plus he can play D. 

You already have the worst offense in the league.  Lets not make it worse. 

[smazza]

he got 4 year extension

[Bull Martin]

yeah, it's good that they gave it to him.

THey'd be in trouble if he wasn't there.  They might not even score a touchdown without him.  But after staying so firm behind there 2 crappy signal callers you reap what you sow.
