Final Roster Cuts!!! Any player you want to snag?

[Wounded Bear]

On August 31 by 6 p.m. ET, NFL teams need to cut down their rosters to the final 53 players.

Is there any player on your radar that may not make their team, but may bolster the Bears?

Receivers? Tight Ends? LINEBACKERS? SAFETIES?

Thoughts?

Every safety should be a potential Bears signing.
And probably half of the linebackers.

Any good ST coaches gonna shake lose? The Bears could use an upgrade.

ST will be a glaring weakness for this team.

 

[Wounded Bear]

Exactly. Maybe there a slew of special teamers we can snag? Or is it exclusively the fault of Decamillas? That dude just sucks it.

James Anderson, who started last year for us is available. He played Shea's spot. (Better than Shea is.)

Bears have cut...

RB Jordan Lynch
OL Rob Turner
TE Jeron Mastrud... Leaving the team with Bennett, Rosario, Matthew Mulligan and Zach Miller on IR.

James Anderson, who started last year for us is available. He played Shea's spot. (Better than Shea is.)

And was probably our best linebacker last year in my view. Wasn't really able to evaluate DJ Williams last year due to his chest injury against the Giants.

At this point, the way our LBs look, I'd entertain snagging James Anderson or someone of his abilities.

Add WR Armanti Edwards
and OT Dennis Roland to the cuts.

Bears release Lynch, four others

Nah... look back at all those Rushing yards- Anderson wasn't even in the conversation when it was time for a contract extension at and near the end of the season- I do think they just want to get younger and Anderson just wasn't it- And what does it tell you that your "BEST" LB on the worse Bears defense in history wasn't even considered for a contract. No thanks.

Falcons released ex colt LB Angerer. Most veteran name so far.

I saw Anderson ran into as many backs of defensive linemen as Bostic and Greene got blamed for. He didnt seem to get the gap system either.

James Anderson, who started last year for us is available. He played Shea's spot. (Better than Shea is.)

Outside of not picking up the ball on the Jarrett Boynkin touchdown that probably cost us a division title, he wasn't… terrible.

But certainly an upgrade over Shea.

He actually was playing quite well prior to the injuries hitting us.

I see that Major Wright got cut from Tampa....any takers?

 

[JoeyTourettes]

MD Jennings, Kelvin Hayden, Eben Britton, CJ Wilson: Were the ones that gave me pause.
Fales making the final roster is also something I wasn't expecting.

We now have Santonio Holmes as a Punt returner/4th WR. Chris Williams is gone.

Do we smell a trade coming? Could more be gone?

 

[Dobler]

Duke Ihenacho kind of intriguing ... cut from Broncos.

Michael Sam?

Hope Boggs gets to go back to the practice squad. De LaPuente is supposed to be out a while, wilson out a while, those two give us a 51 man roster.

 

[richig07]

Honestly… I wouldn't even mind Major Wright at this point. An experienced depth safety that knows the system.

Any LB's out there?

 

[Wounded Bear]

Michael Sam?

Wow. I thought he was a shoe-in...

I'd take him in a second over Trevor Scott or Cornelius Washington.

 

[anotheridiot]

saints cut Champ Bailey and Robert Meachum though.
