Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
It’s unclear whether McCown will return to Chicago. Because he signed a one-year deal under the minimum-salary benefit in 2013, the Bears can’t sign him until he actually becomes a free agent on March 11. That now follows a three-day period during which McCown’s agent can engage in discussions with other teams. With the Bears devoting $22.5 million in cap space to Cutler for the coming year, the Bears likely won’t have much in the budget for McCown. Any team that views him as a potential starter would surely outbid the Bears. PFT's Mike Florio thinks the Vikings might be among those interested... Stay tuned.
