Booker was almost a Patriot
Bears fans don't know how to feel about the Marty Booker signing. Rotoworld Comeback Writer of the Year candidate Scott Morrow said it was, "Kind of comforting and kind of sad." I'd lean towards comforting, but it almost didn't happen.
The Patriots had a standing offer to Booker, and set a deadline for a decision last night. It came down to the wire, but Booker chose the Bears. That decision was either the cause or the effect of New England's Jabar Gaffney deal, although I suspect Booker was first in line.
I don't buy that Booker is suddenly Chicago's number one receiver. He's whatever they need him to be. He could come off the bench if Mark Bradley and Devin Hester develop or he could lead the team in receptions. Booker can still play; he's Mushin Muhammad circa 2006.

Marty Booker is a joke, you think the bears are going to be anydifferent than miami was for him last year. He is going to be a worthless sign
