Sam Acho was reported back on Thur.

Yes - it lists that on March 14

"March 14th - The Bears are bringing Sam Acho back, first reported by his brother."

Thought I saw him in your FA list.

Would like to see Inman and Houston back from that group.

I'd like to see McManis, Cunningham and Callahan back from that group. I'd be fine with a comparable replacement to any tho.

Houston was another body marched out there IMO. Would rather kick the tires on bringing back McPhee at a lower price. He is still producing at a high level when kept at a snap count limit to keep him from being injured. Inman likely doesn't want to be buried on the depth chart. I don't see him re-signing.

Like to see Wright back in the slot with Gabrial and A Rob outside.

I'm also hoping we bring back Mcphee at a lower price into a rotation with several other guys like Lynch

I can't believe Wright is the best we had last year. This free agency has already seen a massive investment to get Trubisky better targets. Am I expecting a Goff or Wentz like turnaround? No, but Trubisky seems primed for significant improvement.

I'd bring back Inman. He can compete on the outside, and that is important to me as Robinson and Meredith are both coming off of knee injuries. I know that rehabbing these is becoming faster and more routine, but you never know how a guy will bounce back.
