Cuts Thread

Cuts should start happening today - I believe all 7 draft picks have made the team.

I agree plus Nall.

Nice that we will be pissed about some cuts this year as opposed to just shrugging our shoulders.

Obviously, I’m referring to the rookies.

Does Grasu make the team? Everything I’ve read has him having a really good training camp.

I'm actually more excited to see what players (OLB) get cut from other teams then i am what we do since i can pretty much guess who stays and goes for us. I'm just hoping R.Pace is waiting with anticipation as much as we are at which edge rushers get cut cause he's been pretty damn quiet about what he thinks about our OLB's.

Should this be in green?

He has had a body of work that indicates he is not an NFL starting Lineman. Daniels, Kush and Whitehair all are capable of playing both Guard and Center making him completely replaceable.

Who are your surprise cuts and keeps?

Surprise cut: Bobby Massie - seriously I would be shocked, but could also see it happening
Surprise keep: Hroniss Grasu

OK that would be a shocker.... BUT I think Anyone would want Massie as a "backup" Tackle .... Over HG as a "backup" Center/Guard

Only thing with Massie is there's no one to replace him. He'd only get cut if the Bears could pick up a significant improvement but even then, the depth at OT is very thin. If either Leno or Massie is injured this year, Coward and Sowell would be your back ups. That'd pretty much guarantee Trubisky getting destroyed.

Surprise Keep: If the Bears decide to keep a true FB, they name Grasu a FB and he stays.

Suddenly, Grasu does what he does well while not doing what he is poor at. He blocks in space while not not having to play the offensive line positions. Being 60 lbs heavier than Mike Burton while being athletic makes him a near ideal FB (ideal if he can show good hands).

Coward will eventually make Massie expendable. We need Massie this year though.

I think Nall gets cut and to practice squad....

Cutting our starting Right Tackle.

Using a failed Guard as a Fullback...




Good Lord I can't wait for the regular season.

Believe he was hurt most of it, only reason to keep for trade bate possible?

Good Lord. Sad that you have only sand between your ears.

Tell me what Mike Burton can do better than Grasu?

Does Mike Burton line up as a center or a guard? No, he would be worse as an offensive lineman than Grasu, which is saying something.

Is Mike Burton some receiving genuis? No, he has 8 more career NFL receptions than Grasu.

Is Mike Burton a better blocker in space than Grasu? No, the one thing that Grasu is good at is blocking in space and he is athletic enough to block from the extra yard difference between where a FB and a center play. He is also 60 lbs heavier which will make him a more devastating blocker than Burton.

So ... if the Bears keep a true FB (Which I stated in my original post), Grasu would be better at FB than Mike Burton.

Surprise cut: Ryan Winslow
Surprise keep: Javon Wims

JK, I have no clue what the FO and coaches are thinking....

No chance but Bears will try and trade him.
