Why would Garza be gone when we just gave him a contract extension a few weeks ago?

What am I missing? I thought Garza was the one guy you hold onto. I rarely hear his name called and, for an offensive lineman, that's a good thing. I imagine he stays put at center. No sense in jacking him around with another position switch.
Turn down for what?

Forte will not play without a long term deal. That's headed for a holdout situation. I'd sweeten the offer, but wouldn't sign him to that deal his side wanted.

For God's sake I'd bring in a proven veteran backup QB.

I think our O-Line will be fine when we get back to our Game 1 starters. We need another swing tackle. other than that I'd keep it the same.

I'd put BIG money into a big veteran WR in FA.

On defense, id go hard in the free agent market for a DE. let Izzy go our take a reserve role.

Our D Tackels are actually having a good year. Melton could get 8-9 sacks from the DT spot. Awesome production - he leads all DTs in sacks. That said, I'd let Anthony Adams go.

I'd cut Merriweather and sign another veteran safety as a reserve. I like how Steltz has looked. I'd look to resign Cory Graham as my 3rd CB and drop Bowman down on the depth chart but keep him around.

I'd hold onto Kellen Davis. He's tall.

"There's been a wrong and we've acted. We have a track record of doing that," Bears general manager Jerry Angelo said. "Unfortunately a situation arose that caught us off guard, but we are to the point where we are going to do the right thing. And the right thing is to cut Sam Hurd."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"When we do our homework on players, we have a very sound and tested methodology that we go about researching all players from college to veteran free agents, and it starts in college," Angelo said. "We spend an inordinate amount of time on character, making sure we know the player as well as we can. But no system is foolproof.

"But for me to sit here and say we should have known something that we didn't know. No, I can't say that in this case. There's no foundation for anybody to say that. There are no facts. There's no flags that anybody could present tangibly to say that we should've known otherwise. I want to make that perfectly clear to the public, to our fans."


From the mouth of Jerry Angelo.
