Bears Sign Dan Skuta to 1yr Deal

Featured Replies

Excellent depth signing and he knows the system so he can step in day one and be productive.

I think they may have brought him with the thought of losing Houston. when healthy Houston is a better player, but he gets hurt every year. Skuta has been relatively healthy and had 5 sacks and 3 FFs in 10 games under Fangio. A good depth player, will be cheaper than Houston. Houston supposedly being the starter has only started 10 games in 3 years. I think he will be gone due to reliability more than anything.

I was just reading where Skuta can play both ILB and OLB, which could free up one spot for CB or S. ILB= Kwiat-Freeman-Trevathan-Timu-Jones-Anderson

OLB= Floyd-Houston-McPhee-Young-Acho

 

So we lose Houston, Acho, Jones,Anderson and just keep Skuta to fill in the 4th spot in both positions. Keep Timu until Trevathan is healthy.

Didn't he play in SF under Fangio? I thought we were looking to him a few years ago. Either way, a nice depth signing. Less drop off from starter to subs is another way to improve roster.

Maybe a replacement for Christian Jones, who seems to have occupied a similar role.

With his age, I'm thinking one of the other veterans since Jones is younger and core special teams player like Acho.

Still don't know the status of Trevathan. This guy appears to play a number of LB type roles although he listed as an OLB/Pass Rusher(?)
