the two-time pro bowl linebacker will be at training camp in person after agreeing wednesday to sign a one-year contract with the bears for the 2007 franchise tender amount of $7.2 million. i couldn't be happier, although i had mixed reactions when i first heard the news. he held out for such a long time it almost made me despise the man but with tank johnson gone we needed lance to step up, be a man and just sign the damn contract. lance provides great strength for the bears and will help substantially throught the season. well any way this means that everyone on the roster, for the chicago bears, is signed and ready for pre-season. now the focus can all be on the prize of repeating the their nfc championship and become super bowl champs instead of chumps.
