Confirming @BradBiggs report of the team's plan to release Roberto Garza. Bears just want to go a different direction.

Plan is to sign veteran C Will Montgomery today. RT @BradBiggs: #Bears have informed C Roberto Garza he will be released.

That's too bad. He wasn't the worst piece of the line. Good luck Roberto in what comes next.

 

PS: also meant to add, welcome to the board Alonso and thanks for the post.

Hey..we finally signed our first Bronco, Will Montgomery. He should be familiar with what Gase does on offense. 32 years old, so not a pup either.

Sounds like he helped out the Denver O-line in a pinch last year and Fox as a fan, so this isn't much of a surprise:

Meh.

I still am waiting on Wiz, but this is a nice move. Good run blocker.

4 years younger than Garza....

Guarantee he's bigger too. Garza is lucky if he's actually 285...

Kind of surprised they didn't keep Garza around for a little while, at least to see what shakes out in the draft. He could still be a useful back-up at G and C, two positions where we don't have a ton of depth, and there's something to be said for his leadership and chemistry with the guys that are here.

 

Case in point, Kyle Long on twitter:

I understand that it's a business, but this is family I'm talking about. He took a broken dumb kid and turned him into a man. Grateful 4 him

I promise to carry the torch with the same charisma and dedication that @Roberto_Garza63 did for so long in Chicago. LUCKENBACH TEXAS ✊

All the time. First man in, last man out. A lot of people claim that kind of thing but he lived it. Luchadores for ever brother. Love ya bro

From the first day I got to the Bears he showed me and told me what it took to be accountable and respected in the NFL He did it right(cont)

Some things are hard to believe. Can't say I've been around a more humble hard working guy. @Roberto_Garza63 will always be a legend.

Exactly. I'm figuring this means the Bears will push for Wiz.

Lemming is indicating that Bears are going to go younger and Mont is a stop-gap with familiarity with our system and plan is likely to draft and groom a long-term replacement.
