Bears cuts 8/31

[Anytime23]

It also means we have good depth, having the bottom of your draft not being relied upon to be contributors right away is a good thing. Some will make it to the practice squad.

lol at this team being deep

Hate that Snowden and Newsome were cut. I don't like that at all. Who the hell is going to be their punt returner?

Just guys that they feel won't get put on other 53s. They have full intention of resigning them.

I will not be providing links anymore because even when you do ppl still argue, but...

I was told this years draft was okay because Pace got the same number of picks as other teams, albeit they were 5th rounders and lower. It's okay to trade high picks because it doesn't matter what round you find starters in.

See how that didn't work?

Who the fuck used that logic??

Safe to say pace will be scouring waver wire trash for ol db and wr. But we prob end up with another te lol

It's pretty rare that rookie late round picks are picked up on waivers. Usually it's mostly vets who can come in and play right away. If some other team was really itching to draft Thomas Graham, enough to put him directly on their 53 from another team's camp, they probably would have.

Trufant is gone, we have Shelley, Vildor and Burns as potential starters with Johnson.

CB is a problem, gonna be lots of 3rd and longs given up this season.

Would have been nice to see what Trufant had left in his game.

Kind of f'ed he was with family after his dad passed and he gets cut in the mean time.

Apparently did not show enough in camp leading up to that decision. Nobody is safe, PACE DOESN'T SLEEP

Trufant sucks lol ?

 

[bamainatlanta]

Please make a trade for a competent CB.

Can't be any worse than Vildor, Shelley and Burns

It's kind of a Cherry picked argument.

Pace has found starters in later rounds. He didn't happen to this year. That it didn't happen this year doesn't mean it hasn't happened or can't happen.

Especially when it's his track record.

It's not about finding guys in the 5th round - it's about counting on it to happen because you've traded so many 3rd rounders away.

Well yeah - counting on it would be silly.

Outside of JJ, it's like picking the least smelly turd.

 

[bearsfan1977]

Teams still use fullbacks as the Bears do, as an H-back. It allows the Bears to two back zone or gap running schemes. Their entire offense would have to change without someone to replace Holtz.

That would be an extra fantastic benefit.

So now we are down to 6.

I'm no longer providing links because even when you do it's not good enough. I'm not spending 10 minutes looking for two posts buried in thousands. CCS search is not Google.

It was said during a post draft argument with me.

In a nutshell...why I'm not linking

Angry guy: Show me ONE PERSON who thought that!

Me: Posts a link.

Angry Guy: Well that was just one guy and he's an idiot.

1 WR is on the roster for '22 and they still have glaring issues at CB and major question marks on the OL. Loving how deep this team is!

You can focus on the dad story but if you look at his body of work when he was with the lions he shouldn’t have been signed to begin with. Family trumps everything IMO but it’s not like we just cut a difference maker here.

 

[greg23]

Wait....I was told I was crazy to suggest they would cut a draft pick like Graham (and Newsome) who've shown nothing in camp or pre-season.

How could this happen?

Glad the dumped Nall...prob a good sign for iggy for ST work and I'd expect either Nall and/or Pierce on the PS

Dazz Newsome

What?

Isn't it illegal to cut draft picks who show nothing?
