Because I don't believe a 32 year-old kick returner/punt returner that is above average (we agree he's not great anymore) is worth any more than the veteran minimum given the fact that kick returns are being legislated out of the game.

I'll trust Trestman's decisions on offense over you. I agree he's going to be held accountable for the decline in defense and special teams if he doesn't right the ship.
Trestman saw no value in Hester playing offense and obviously felt his skills at special teams have declined enough to move on special teams.

He didn't know where to line up on the field (do you not remember this?). Trestman did not want him to play WR or he would have. I trust his judgement with the offense.
Peace
I actually thought DJ Williams was playing very well before he went down (at a much higher level than Url's final year).
No way, no how would Hester be playing WR on our team unless you're going to bring back Mushin to line him up.
Peace
Yeah, we know about your amazing draft prowess. You always remind us.
I'm glad the Bears moved on. Loved Hester in his prime but he is not the same player he was. I hope he breaks the record this next year.

Izzy is most likely getting paid vet minimum. Hester is not worth more than vet minimum in my opinion and the market will probably prove that out. I said Url was worth more that vet minimum (but not much) and that was proven out by the market.
