They should keep him. Played good enough that it's not worth creating another hole

Unless they are positive the can get Q. Nelson you keep him. Maybe keep him anyway.

Imo, it’d be foolish to have Q. Nelson, Sitton, Long and Whitehair on the roster. You can’t play them all.

Just for grins..... how about Leno, Nelson, Whitehair, Sitton and the winner of Long/Massie?

Which is why I lead with don’t cut Sitton unless you are sure you can get Nelson. Even given that, the chances of Long and Sitton staying healthy all season are remote; Long may not even be ready for the season opener. I am not advocating Nelson, Sitton, Whitehair and Long. But, from what I have read about Nelson is that he as close to a sure thing in the draft. Can you have too much talent on the o-line? Again, not my first choice in round 1 necessarily but hard to argue with, too.

For the love of God, there’s not one damn good reason to cut Sitton. Dude is a badass motherfucker that needs to stay and help Harry coach up the young guys they bring in.

Way too many issues on the line to let Sitton walk.
I wish that his option did not need to be picked up till a couple days into free agency, which would let us sniff around a bit, but that is not an option.
Cut Sitton and watch Long struggle to get onto the field and we are tossing a season.

Just for giggles, starting guards are Sitton and Nelson. Center is Whitehair. Long becomes the backup and, throwing him a few passes per practice, he takes over the Sims spot on the team.
How could he be worse than Sims? Sims is more expensive than Long, Long is a better blocker than Sims even when hurt and Long would be a slightly worse receiver if he had 100% stone hands.

You can’t be sure of that though. It’s not possible. The Bears have to decide on Sitton’s option before the draft...

Sure of what, not argu8ng, just don’t know. If you cut Sitton you now make OG a need and draft one, which is o.k but you had better be sure you have the right guy. Miss on on some one and now OG is an issue. That is what I am trying to get across.

I'm no expert on the oline but having invested in a potential Franchise QB trearing down the pocket in the offseason is not going to help, is it??
