Greg Heban, S, Indiana was invited on a tryout basis for the Bears.

Not that it matters (or anyone cares), but Greg is a great dude. Was the only bright spot to watch on Indiana's defense for the past 4 years. Invited me to a party at his house once and I was the only non football player there. It's pretty hard to spit game when every other guy in there is on a scholarship though. :shifty:

It's up to Jones to lose a LB spot on the final roster. The LBs that will have a guaranteed spot are:
1. Briggs, WLB
2. Bostic, SLB
3. McClellin, SLB
4. DJ Williams, MLB
5. Greene, WLB
6. Senn, (Strictly Special teams)

That leaves an open MLB spot for Jones. He could legit be this year's Burfict.

I think they'll go with 10 linemen, 6 linebackers and 10 backs, so it looks like Jones and Senn will be competing for that last LB spot. Jones has to prove right away that he can play special teams.

It probably doesn't mean much but Christian Jones and Brandon Marshall went to the same high school.

Just carrying on the process from the draft, but Lattimore was a team captain, the Bears valuing leadership and character.

Former FSU LB and Winter Park Lake Howell High standout Christian Jones was expected to be selected in the 2014 NFL Draft.

But the draft came and went. Three days went by and Jones was not picked by a team, a surprising fall for a player that some analysts viewed as a potential fourth-round pick.

Jones will now try to make a pro team the hard way. He reportedly signed a deal with the Chicago Bears, according to ESPN's Adam Caplan.

FSU originally announced that he signed a contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars as an undrafted free agent on Saturday, but a report from Big Cat Country, a reputable publication that covers the Jacksonville Jaguars, stated that Jones opted to sign elsewhere.

I agree. Jones should beat out Senn. I think Greene is capable of being a leader on special teams. Even McManis could do it

The problem with that list is you're grouping Bostic and Shea together. Not saying it won't happen but just because they're planning on testing Bostic and Shea at SLB/ MLB doesn't change the fact that they are both much better suited for one than the other. So unless Bostic starts flashing at SLB (not likely considering it's pass rushing requirements) then it'd be best to consider him at MLB.

Doesn't chance anything really. Just means Jones will have to stick behind Mclellin and not DJ. He has a better chance there anyway. He's a lot less sideline to sideline and much more of a disruptive edge defender. SAM LB is perfect for him for many of the reasons its perfect for Shea.

If you haf read what you copy and pasted, you'd probably realize the tweet itself specifically notes he didn't receive an offer and is simply getting a shot as a rookie mini camp extra.

Hope that doesn't come off the wrong way. Just clarifying it for you since you said "I think" and didn't seem positive about it.

True true, my mistake. Thanks for noting that. I definitely jumped the gun there. Just something I saw when I woke up and noticed no one posted it hehe.
