Bears safety Payne asking to be released?

By Mark J. Miller

Kevin PayneKids across America may be taught "Safety first," but it appears that the Chicago Bears just too many of them right now. The word is that the re-acquisition of Chris Harris, who the Bears traded away in 2007 after drafting him from Louisiana Monroe in 2005, means that Kevin Payne has fallen to the bottom of the list in the safety department, according to ChicagoBreakingNews.com.

Payne is expected to ask for his release and the team is expected to grant him his wish.

The Harris-Payne relationship has been a long, slow dance of replacement and displacement. When the Bears drafted Harris, Payne replaced him at Louisiana Monroe. Then the Bears drafted Payne in 2007 and sent Harris packing. Now it is Mr. Harris's turn to replace Payne in Chicago.

What an interesting cycle of safety turnover. Payne is a good tackler who can hit, but his coverage skills leave a lot to be desired.

Interesting to say the least.....I like Payne as he is a nice hitter/tackler. I hope that we can keep him on.

I wouldn't care if he went. We can afford to lose him.

Why do we need Kevin Payne when we have Al Afalava who ALSO can smoke a dude but gets smoked by any route?
