LAKE FOREST, Ill. Mike Tolbert White Jersey . -- The Chicago Bears agreed to a three-year contract with defensive end Willie Young and a one-year deal with receiver Domenik Hixon on Thursday. Young joins a defence that is getting a makeover after struggling in a big way last season. The Bears released eight-time Pro Bowl defensive end Julius Peppers this week and brought in defensive end Lamarr Houston from Oakland, linebacker Jordan Senn from Carolina and safeties Ryan Mundy (New York Giants) and M.D. Jennings (Green Bay). Now, they have two new starting ends in Young and Houston. "This is important for us to get a second defensive lineman, a quality starter, an opportunity for Willie to grow and for us to grow with him," general manager Phil Emery said on a conference call. "When we went into free agency we felt that if we could find a way to get two starting defensive linemen, we would have made forward progress. Weve been able to accomplish that." The 28-year old Young spent four years with Detroit and can play on the left or right side. He had 47 tackles, three sacks, five pass breakups and two fumble recoveries last season. He had discussions with Jacksonsville but wound up in Chicago, instead. "Having (linebacker Lance) Briggs here anchoring the middle, it goes a long ways, having that solid leadership starting from the middle and working our way out," Young said. "Im excited to be here. And Im looking forward to a very aggressive defence here in the making. And right now theres nothing to stop us other than ourselves." Hixon had seven catches for 55 yards with Carolina in 2013. He has experience returning kickoffs and punts but did neither for the Panthers. Emery said he will get an opportunity to do that with Devin Hester gone. He previously played for Denver (2006-07) and the New York Giants (2007-12). In Chicago, hell be reuniting with quarterback Jay Cutler and receiver Brandon Marshall, his teammates with the Broncos. Meanwhile, Emery said cornerback Charles Tillmans return remains "an ongoing process" and had no update on the free agent. He also said time is running short on defensive tackle Henry Melton to re-sign. Meltons been visiting other teams. The Bears are open to bringing him back, but their available cap space is shrinking. "The clocks ticking," Emery said. Melton was arrested and charged with assault and public intoxication following an altercation at a Dallas-area bar in December. His agent has said Melton did not start the incident. "I think thats been an ongoing issue in terms of that issue coming to conclusion," Emery said. "In terms of evaluating Henry the player, thats separate from that." Thomas Davis Youth Jersey .

That doesnt mean they cant enjoy this run. Pinch-hitter Greg Dobbs delivered a two-run double against closer Carlos Marmol, and the Florida Marlins scored six times in the ninth inning to rally for a 6-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Thursday night that extended their season-high winning streak to six games. "Its huge," Dobbs said. "It keeps us moving in the right direction, which is really good. Were going to fight it out -- we have to. We cant give up. Were building off things right now. We just have to keep riding off the momentum, keep executing." The Marlins trailed 2-0 before sending 11 batters to the plate in their final at-bat while pulling out a dramatic victory. Matt Garza threw seven scoreless innings for Chicago and Sean Marshall worked the eighth, but Marmol (2-3) unraveled while picking up his seventh blown save opportunity in 26 chances. He walked Mike Stanton, Mike Cameron and John Buck, throwing just one strike in the process, and Dobbs-- batting in the pitchers spot -- followed with a double into the right-field corner. Dewayne Wise, running for Buck, slipped between third and home but scored anyway when second baseman Darwin Barneys relay bounced past catcher Geovany Soto for a throwing error that gave Florida a 3-2 lead. Marmol then walked Emilio Bonifacio before being pulled for Kerry Wood, who walked Omar Infante to load the bases again and allowed a sacrifice fly by Gaby Sanchez and run-scoring single by Hanley Ramirez. James Russell retired Logan Morrison on a grounder and intentionally walked Stanton. Cameron responded with an RBI single to make it 6-2 and Ramirez was thrown out trying to score, ending the inning. "Be patient, be selective, get good pitches to hit . they did that," Marlins manager Jack McKeon said. "Consequently, they couldnt throw the ball over, so take it, take it, take it. Make them throw strikes." As for Marmol? Well, hell just try to shake this one off. "Tomorrow, hopefully I can get a save situation again," said Marmol, who also blew a save opportunity last weekend at Pittsburgh. Thee right-hander faced five batters Thursday night and failed to record an out. Cam Newton Womens Jersey. He walked four and was charged with five runs, hiking his ERA from 2.57 to 3.64. Its the sort of performance that could cost a closer his job, but manager Mike Quade is not leaning in that direction. "Not right now," Quade said. "You take something like this and try to figure out how to fix it. Sean Marshall and Woody have done that before, can do that, but were not going to be any good without all three of them. Were not." The big rally handed a win to Edward Mujica (7-2), who recorded the final out in the eighth. Leo Nunez allowed a run in the bottom half on Brett Hayes passed ball, but struck out pinch-hitter Reed Johnson and Kosuke Fukudome with a runner on third to end the game. The Cubs looked like as if were in good shape, getting a solo homer from Marlon Byrd in the second and tacking on another run in the seventh, when they chased Anibal Sanchez and Steve Cishek hit Barney with the bases loaded. Garza was simply terrific, allowing six hits and striking out six after lasting just two innings in his previous start against Washington. Sanchez yielded two runs and four hits while striking out six and walking one in 6 1-3 innings. Chicago was ahead 1-0 when Alfonso Soriano singled in the seventh to drive Sanchez out of the game. Soto greeted Cishek with a base hit, and the right-hander plunked Barney with his next pitch to bring in Carlos Pena. Eventually, though, the Marlins pulled it out. "Were starting to make things happen," McKeon said. NOTES: Marlins RHP Clay Hensley, on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained right shoulder, will start Monday against the New York Mets. He made a rehab start Wednesday at Double-A Jacksonville and threw 72 pitches. ... Quade had a chance to talk things over with Canadian pitcher Ryan Dempster, who will start Friday. Dempster got in shouting match with his manager Saturday at Pittsburgh when he was pulled after five innings. "Everything is fantastic," Quade said. "I was going to tell you about the conversation I had with my girlfriend last night, too, but thats off limits as well." cheap jerseys ' ' '
