Bear Bites: Will Tice Be Tennessee-Bound?

Happy Valentine's Day and welcome to Bear Bites, a rundown of all the Bears news you need to know.

How did you survive the first official weekend without football? Pitchers and catchers are reporting, but that doesn't help when the only thing you want is to see Devin Hester run a football.

• The Titans are interested in Bears offensive line coach Mike Tice. Hiring him away could pose a problem to the Bears, as it could be difficult to find a replacement coach this late in February. (Chicago Tribune)
• Assuming a collective bargaining agreement is in place and players get a chance to exercise free agency, the Bears don't plan on using the franchise tag on any players. (Chicago Bears)
• Richard Dent is planning on having either his college coach or his daughter present him at his Hall of Fame induction in August. (Chicago Sun-Times)

• Giuliana Rancic, the E! host and wife of Bill Rancic, the original Apprentice and native Chicagoan, says that she is responsible for Jay Cutler's relationship with Kristin Cavallari. Thanks so much, Giuliana! (Us Weekly)
