Bennett and Marshall were easy decisions. No new regime is going to put up with guys that put their agendas before team. Denver, Miami and Chicago all came to the same conclusion on Marshall. As for Bennett, he was awful last year.
Forte was a great Bear but it's better to be a year early than a year late with running backs. The love for Slauson on this board is astonishing.
Also, I'm curious how Pace screwed up the negotiation with Jeffery? Please share all of your inside information. If Jeffery stays healthy and kills it this year, the Bears will franchise him again and close a deal. If the Bears had paid Jeffery WR1 money this year and he was injured again, I bet you'd be on here killing Pace for signing him.
