Hester Realizes Ramifications, Caves to Bears.

According to the Sun-Times Brad Biggs, Devin Hester has caved and showed up early this morning at Bears camp. Hester may have planned this all along, thinking that the stun he put on GM Jerry Angelo would be enough to get his point across. That may have worked. Or, he may have not realized when he threatened to hold out the season that he would have been discredited this season and he would not become an unrestricted free agent until the year after he's supposed to (which would be forever considering the CBA screw-ups). Either way, he's back and I expect a new deal to surface for him soon. I believe getting Chris Williams signed and in camp was top priority for the Bears over the last week, and now that that deal has been done, Hester is the focus. In my opinion, you can expect about the middle of what the Bears are wanting to give him and what he wants...let's say something like 5 years, $25M with $14M in guaranteed? Just a guess.
