Poles could have easily protected him as he can protect 4 PS players.  He chose not to.  Despite my optimism this guy would turn into a good player for us, given what this staff has done with so many young players I have to trust their judgment.  They saw quite a bit of him over the offseason so most likely he didn't fit within the culture of the HITS system.  There is reason to believe that too because last year Graham said it was his fault he didn't make the 53 as he wasn't working hard enough.

Forgot to add that in his place the Bears signed former Vikings DB Harrison Hand.  He has more game experience than Graham had.

I agree with what we have seen with the rookies and UDFAs plus FAs, definitly trust his judgement over mine. 

Seemed surprising but just like with the recent waiver acquisitions, I will hold judgement for a bit.

I watched Hard Knocks for the first time this year.  There is so much to learn from reps in camp and pre season games, so determining why he's gone is almost impossible for us.
