Brad Biggs - Could #Bears trade depth at DE for help on special teams? Worth considering. Can they get return for one of down the depth chart players?
10:19am - 30 Aug 14

My bet here is LB Christian Jones, the undrafted rookie from Florida State, makes the 53-man roster.
10:19am - 30 Aug 14

Hamstring pull cost Chris Williams more than half of preseason. Looks like Micheal Spurlock is primary returner w/ Santonio Holmes also a PR

8 OL is awfully thin, is Kromer eying someone who's played for him off the scrap heap?

I don't see them bringing Britton back unless there's an injury. Same guys would be exposed and Eben can't be put on the PC. Never understood the enthusiasm for the guy. We kept an actual blocking TE instead of a pretend one. I thought they'd keep him simply because they could probably slip one of the kids through waivers.

The board needs to brace itself... but Lee Pegues might have been cut.

RT @BradBiggs: #Bears will place LB DeDe Lattimore on waivers. There is a good possibility he could return to the practice squad

And don't be surprised if #Bears keep 7 linebackers on 53. Jerry Franklin likely counted on as core special teams performer.

My bet here is LB Christian Jones, the undrafted rookie from Florida State, makes the 53-man roster.

I think it more than likely is about avoiding the guaranteed contract and Britton will be back after wk 1.

Brad Biggs ‏@BradBiggs 37s

Personnel man in one city tells me #Bears are knocking on doors looking for help in two areas: safety and returner.

Two franchises, one decision. Jets traded up (ahead of Bears) to snatch Stephen Hill. Bears jumped up to snag Alshon. Hill waived today.

I've said for months that they would only keep eight. They wanted to keep eight last year, but Boggs emerged and they needed depth at center.

Reminder: #Bears have to save spot today on 53 for Marquess Wilson. Can’t go on IR/designated to return till Tuesday if they opt for that.

I say with above situation with Wilson...Bears resign Britton after they IR Wilson

I think they feel they can sneak Chris Williams onto the practice squad.

The real quandary is Bass and Washington with the new rules about the PS.


They must be waiting till the very end to cut one or both of them...........then hope they get past the waiver lines.

Could be right but wouldn't another team hurry to sign our new starter at RT.
