Bears cuts

[WindyCity]

The OL is razor thin.

Santos cut?? Is Pinerio healthy?

Couldn't afford or at least didn't want to pay him $750k for 1 or 2 games. He may get re-signed on a per game salary later..

Pretty sure waived is for vets and cut is for rookies.

All get waived and can be claimed to a 53.

I'm surprised Bears waived:

Toliver
Irving - hurt
Stephen Denmark

And cut:
Artavis Pierce

That puts Bears in need of a bigger backup for Montgomery, unless Nagy really loved the way Patterson ran between the tackles during practice?

Bears are getting thinner at CB. I hope Shelley is ready to take the field.

When people write "waived", they mean put on waivers, meaning, they intend to put them on the Practice Squad, right? Or is cut and waive the same?

The 3rd string rb under nagy gets like 10 carries a season.

I'm fairly certain patterson can handle that...

I dont think we sign another RB unless the diagnosis on monty doesn't look favorable going into week 1.

Players with less than 4 years accrued go through waivers which means another team can pick up their contract. Released vets are able to sign wherever if they are vested. Waivers only applies for vets after the trade deadline (midseason).

Practice squad rules are different this year though. IIRC teams can carry up to 4 vets who normally wouldn't be eligible. I haven't heard of any changes to waivers though.

The fact the Bears have added 6 CBs in the last 2 years including 4 draft picks tells you what they thought of Tolliver.

Vildor getting run with the 1s and getting some positive buzz ended it for Tolliver.

so far, looking like a good draft class.

Do they really need 5 TEs?

They do for the 1st gadget play of the season. It's called Ditka,Ditka,Ditka,Ditka,Ditka. That's all I am allow to say at this time.

So teams can now have a 16 man practice squad and 6 of those players can have unlimited NFL experience.

I mean if Monty gets injured.

Usually, Bears would always have a between-the-tackles-RB backup doing Special Teams be the backup to the main RB (Monty). But not this year. I guess Nagy liked what he saw with Patterson running between the tackles, and comfortable with Nalls.

I think you guys doubt how great they feel about Nall.

Pretty much. They like his work on the PS, but yeah, I doubted they ever considered him a sufficient backup for Monty.
