Willie Young back to the Lions?

The Chicago Tribune's Rich Campbell confirms Bears OLB Willie Young is on the roster bubble.

Young is coming back from a Week 16 torn Achilles' and trying to adjust to a 3-4 defense after spending his entire career in a 4-3. The scheme change is what's hurting him. Young led the Bears with 10 sacks last season, but Chicago is getting OLB Lamarr Houston back from injury and signed OLB Pernell McPhee. As long as Young is healthy, he'd be a hot name should he be part of final cuts.

Trade a 7th rounder for him.

He was weak against the run and IMO is a one trick pony.

Why on earth would you want a liability on a Swiss cheese front four?

Not sure they need a 3rd down specialist. Have a few now.

An athlete that depended souly on speed and first step with a ripped achilles tendon?

Nahhhh

Phillip Hunt is a a freak. Even Tapp is just as good as Young and nowhere near as expensive. Young will land somewhere though. 10 sacks last year. Some team could use him I am sure.

Ya you guys are right. Maybe if he clears waivers.
