The Facts:
While Burress thinks he would be a great fit in Chicago, multiple sources have told the Sun-Times that the Bears would only be interested in the former New York Giants playmaker at a bargain basement price, if at all.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Burress told a Chicago-area radio station on Tuesday that the Bears will be one of this top three destinations when the lockout ends. While Burress would seem to fit the Bears need of a bigger, play-making receiver, that's not necessarily the case. As if character concerns, inactivity and his age (he turns 34 next month) weren't enough to worry about, Sun-Time staffer Neil Hayes points out that Burress is not known for running the type of precise routes required in OC Mike Martz's offense. In other words, while he may be the type of receiver that quarterback Jay Cutler would love to throw in a sandlot game, he likely doesn't fit the requirements of Martz's precision scheme.
