How quickly things go from strength of the team to a realization that this group is old and injury prone outside of Floyd. It is what it is gents.
Uhhhhh.......congratulations....
Why would they cut a good player? That's dumb.Thank you.
Now, let's hope they cut his worthless ass.

No. I mean good. He's a good player. It's not impossible to be good and injury prone.LOL...
When you say "good", you mean "kinda crappy when he's not injured except for a game or 2"?

Bottom line. Cutting him makes no sense. Hell be ready for week 1. Problem is he'll be hurt by week 10. But realistically, it won't matter anyway.

If you can't even acknowledge he's good when he plays then this discussion doesn't need to continue. Night Mongo.No. he's not even "good".
When he's healthy, he still plays less than half the downs.
With regards to why you get rid of a guy with chronic knee issues, in addition to his inferior play, the team will also save 8 million agaisnt the cap.
Any unused cap can be rolled over to the next year. There is (to my knowledge) no limit to the amount you can roll to the next season.
Cut chronically injured player, save $8Mil in cash and cap, roll it into 2018 when the team will hopefully be much more improved and adding FA talent will be worthwhile

Well? Who is it? Who is laughing now?
You cut him if you have a better option. I don't know if the Bears do at OLB.
Better than a guy who can't play?
Shouldn't be too difficult.
And why ignore the 8 million?
Well, I am assuming he is healthy enough to play this year. If not, than that's an easy decision.
Agreed. But let's look at facts as well:
--Blew up his knees with the Ravens.
--Blew up his knee 2015 with Bears ended season injured.
--Got "scoped" way before 2016 camp. Did not come back till week 7. (Remember when Hampton would get scoped at half time and make it on the field to start the 3Q?)
--2 sacks in last 6 games played last year.
--He has been resting the knees for 7+ months. Still bad. Couple more not going to change that.
--He's been to 1 practice.
--The knee now has an "anomaly" that put him on PUP. May need surgery to fix.
--IF he does play this year, will be very limited (used as a situational player)
--Getting paid 8 mil this year if he is not cut.
--3rd highest paid player on the entire team
--If we cut him, we can roll that cap to next year when we are hopefully making an upturn as a team
It's time to let him go.
You might be right. We shall see if and how he plays preseason.

He's without a doubt a good player when healthy, there's not even a question about that.
