Some guys to shore up some depth
CB, Justin Coleman - plenty of experience to step in if we struggle to find an answer at outside corner
LB, Kevin Pierre Louis - familiar fave who played well in his lone year here.
WR, Preston Williams - big bodied target who flashed potential in Miami when they were tanking for Tua. Could be a true redzone target.
DT, Armon Watts - DT with 5 sacks last year. I dont see why not!
WR, Tyler Johnson - had some nice highlight plays for Tampa Bay.

you can occasionally find some surprise cuts that can improve a position...I mean that’s pretty much what you get at this time of year. ?

I think expectations should be tempered. It’s very unlikely that the Bears are gonna sign someone to start at a position that’s unfamiliar with the systems.
No way do they pick up a starting OL, sorry better get used to Mustipher.

Poles talked the big game about this opportunity so it has people expecting a lot of moves. Generally speaking you’re correct but this is not a normal year.

They signed Reiff later in camp for 12.5 million....I think if they can improve the team they will do it

I
but the point I’m making is that camp is over. That’s valuable time to learn the system and team

The team isn’t going to remain frozen in time. They will have to sign people due to injuries. If the right player is available they will sign him.

Winfree seems like a possible target. Getsy would know him. Has a little NFL experience but falls in the young and needs a chance bucket. Rodgers supposedly liked him.

Yes but I’m saying that these cuts and signings are from the bottom of the roster, not the top

WR Kendric Pryor. Had a nice preseason with Bengals. Plus he fits the mold that Poles seems to be looking for -- young with good upside. He's also a local kid from Hazel Crest.

Why, everything indicated Patrick would likely be back for the opener and I haven't heard that that has changed.

Generally yes, but I did point out an example of a team cutting a vet due to $ at the end of camp that can help other teams. It happens. Not always but it does. I don’t think they would be above signing a player simply because they haven’t learned the playbook yet.

This is the only reasonable list I’ve seen in this thread. Specifically, I think Justin Coleman at CB and Armon Watts at DT would be significant upgrades over the guys the Bears currently have as depth at those positions.

I would like to see Chazz Suratt on the practice squad to see if he is the type of player Eberflus could make use of. He's not the type of LB you can just place in the same spot each snap but it seems like those type of guys are starting to become popular in the league

As someone said or implied earlier, developmental players, someone with a higher ceiling than players we had at our camp will probably land on our PS. Rarely will one find a 'Josh Sitton' sittin there ( as far as new faces go )

I would like to see them get some help for the defensive line. I'd be surprised if this defense wasn't in the bottom third of the league for rushing yards per attempt and near the top of the league for injuries if they're counting on their safeties and corners to make all those stops.
