Mullin hitting the sauce early



John Mullin ‏@CSNMoonMullin 1m

#Bears will have their shot at DE Michael Sam - GM Phil Emery liked him, just not enough for a draft choice - now released by #Rams….

The Bears terminated the contracts of vested veterans:

* DB Kelvin Hayden — cutting the veteran leaves the Bears with depth questions at nickel back and corner. He spent all of season on injured reserve with a torn left hamstring. The rise of Sherrick McManis and up-and-down preseason didn’t help Hayden’s stance with Bears, who are in a youth movement.

* OL Eben Britton — suffered a hamstring injury early in training camp and didn’t return until the final exhibition against the Cleveland Browns. It’s a surprise move, considering Britton was active every game last year with an important role. He still remains an option to be re-signed later.

* DE Austen Lane – The Bears really liked Lane, whose high motor showed up during training camp and in a productive preseason.

The Bears waived:

* LB Jerry Franklin – a semi-surprise move. Franklin stood out on special teams all preseason, earning some praised from special-teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis.

* OL Taylor Boggs – the 27-year-old was the Bears’ backup center last season, but the offseason addition of veteran Brian de la Puente put him on the bubble.

* WR Chris Williams – a tweaked hamstring in the first exhibition limited his opportunities to show he can replace Devin Hester. Williams did show flashes of his speed, including a 73-yard touchdown catch, and might be a candidate for the practice squad, if he clears. The Saints didn’t want to lose him last year when the Bears signed him off their practice squad.

* WR Josh Bellamy

* DT Tracy Robertson

* DT Brandon Dunn

* LB DeDe Lattimore

* CB C.J. Wilson

* WR Dale Moss

* S Marcus Trice

* OL Ryan Groy

* DL Lee Pegues

* CB Al Louis-Jean

The Bears waived with injury settlement:

* M.D. Jennings

There is no reason to keep a guy like Lane as the 5th defensive End. At least Bass and Washington have likelihood to improve or even potentially have trade value.

Thank God they kept Chris Conte. Because as Conte goes, so go the Bears.
