The Facts:
GM Jerry Angelo said on Saturday that he plans to talk to Benson's agent, Eugene Parker, today about the possibly dwindling offer first referred to earlier this week. "I would like to think that they understand there is closure from our end in terms of our numbers," Angelo said. "Sometimes as you go through the posturing it's, 'Have I gotten everything I can get?' That's just part of negotiations. At some point you have to make that determination."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Bears see today and Monday as a critical window to end the impasse. Three exhibition games are in the books, and if the dispute lasts beyond that time frame, Friday's exhibition home opener will be lost. "We need to see the player," Angelo said. "He needs to get in here now. This is a critical time. ..." True that. More as developments warrant.
