I realize i'm a bit late on this one considering week one is in the books, but better late than never i suppose.
BARRING INJURY TO OTHER LINEMEN, i'm predicting week 8 to be the last week we see Long in a Bears uniform, or at least starting in a bears uniform. Though i doubt his conditioning and current physique will allow him to stay healthy past week 8.
After reviewing film of last weeks debilitating loss to the packers, i counted 8 plays where he appeared to "take off" because he was completely gassed. 3 of these plays were before halftime.
Truth of the matter is - even with the Bears attempts to hide Long on the interior right side, he still sticks out like a sore thumb. There's no way the Bears dont cut ties after this season. Essentially a 99% chance he's with another team next season (if he doesnt retire)
Where you all standing on this matter? Any predictions?
