Bears waive Sowell, add Abdullah Anderson to the 53

[baredown]

Yeah, it might be the 54th man trick. Did they cut him late enough in the week that he still gets a game check? Abdullah takes Nichols' spot. Next week Abdullah back to the PS, Nichols comes back with a club, Sowell is resigned and never missed a pay check.

Sowell is a vested veteran. His contract for the year was guaranteed from the moment he was on the roster for game 1. If he decides to put the weight back on and go back to being an OL backup somewhere, he can just walk away from this year under a full salary. The only thing he'd lose is another year toward his pension. He may well have an agreement with the Bears to come back in a week or two, but contractually he doesn't have any incentive to do it...

He will be back.maybe they felt the new TE was more likely to be picked up if they cut him over sowell

Kind of feel sorry for Sowell(not really). It was like a kid who pledged my fraternity in college,
we shaved his eye brows and then ultimately blackballed him. Sorry to this day for treating an
Illinois Supreme court justice so poorly.
