Israel Idonije Receives More Money To Play Air Golf
The last post of the week: something to ponder as you await the certain couch slouch and booze binge of this weekend.
Maybe it’s his ability to play both tackle and end relatively well or his topnotch Air Golf game, but the Bears have felt it necessary to extend the contract of Israel Idonije by two years.
Per ESPN, the deal gives Izzy $7 million in new money with $3 million guaranteed.
Idonije is a steady veteran; not overly impressive, but durable, versatile and a solid contributor on special teams.
I’m starting to get good feelings about the front four again, stirred by the quality of depth the Bears have put together. I can say now that part of decline of the defense in the last two years had as much to do with the departures of guys like Ian Scott, Alfonso Boone and Tank Johnson, as it did Ron Rivera.
Oh yeah, and then there’s always that one Rod Marinelli fellow and what he did in Tampa Bay…
