Lol

Sami Toure has been cut. 

I am now seeing pundits say they have inside information as to who else is getting cut. If you pay attention at all, you could get all but maybe 10 players. Bears Now is one that claims to have inside info.

I seen where we get to keep a 54 man roster because Tory Taylor is Australian and gets a exception.

Also they put DB Shawn Wade  and RB Deion Hankins were put on IR.

I expect a few to go as a injury designation to keep on the team. Case Keenum has an injury now, I wonder if they put him on short term IR to keep him here.

but you yourself quoted the comment you were responding to...

[Stinger226]

Here is the definition of (but), I'll let you two  figure it out..

used to indicate the impossibility of anything other than what is being stated.

right, because you quoted him before your response. now you claim you were answering a different earlier point to weasel out of what you said, but that doesnt fly because the comment you were replying to was quoted by you ahead of your response.

Also, I think you mean to use quotation marks around the word "but" and not parenthesis?

I wasnt trolling I was saying 2 things.

1) your lie about not responding to Mongo's specific statement falls apart when we see you quoted the statement you were responding to

2) I was actually legitimately trying to be helpful because you keep using parenthesis when you mean quotation marks. Sometimes the smartest football people have horrible grammar, so i wasnt trying to diminish you with that. Grammar means nothing on this site, football knowledge is what its about. I was just telling you so you can do it right next time.

I didn't lie about anything, and I use parentheses on everything I try to emphasize. I could care less if if it's proper grammar construction. 

I love talking about football but now I have two people on here cat calling because they don't like the way I say things. It would  be nice to just discuss football again but apparently that's to simple for both of you.

You, Adam, Mongo and me add the most content to this site , if you two want to waste your time with bullshit, I'm here for you. I'm sure guests that visit here just love this kind of content.

I seen posted by someone I never heard of  that we traded for  AZEEZ OJULARI/DE from the Giants. I never trust any news anymore unless i see it posted by several sources. Anyone else  have info on this?

I think they were suggesting it because if he gets cut and has to clear waivers, I doubt he gets to the Bears.

Here are some other cut candidates that I would consider:

OL Cole Strange
DE Azeez Ojulari
DE David Ojabo
DE Anfernee Jennings
CB Adoree Jackson
CB Beanie Bishop
CB Jamel Dean 
S Kyle Dugger

So these have already been cut? Ojulari would interest me.

Not yet.

Also, as much as we all love the 53-man roster battles, something like 1% of the bottom 5 players on a 53-man contribute in a meaningful way. At the end of the day, the Bears need better starters, which pushes better players down to backups. Right now it feels like they need that at LT and RB on offense, and Edge and CB on defense. So LT and Edge need to be priorities with CB, then RB as the next with Safety as an honorable mention.

going forward I dont think we are going to be having major FA signings anymore. Our Cap is topped out , so we will add by draft or lesser FAs hoping they find a diamond in the rough. So the drafts over the last few yrs have to be our core with maybe one or two high draft picks added every year. That is the reality of where we are right now.

I think they will play some funny games with injuries and stuff to hide some guys, Frazier seems like a candidate. Booker may end up on IR (miss first 4 weeks), which is the smarter move even if he can come back in 3. Roschon may be another candidate for that, which then frees up the spots for Hardy, Walker, and another RB.

Placed DB Zah Frazier on Reserve/Non-Football Injury.

Waived the following players: DB Millard Bradford DL Xavier Carlton DB Alex Cook LB Power Echols DB Kaleb Hayes QB Austin Reed RB Ian Wheeler TE Joel Wilson

Released the following players: DB Tre Flowers RB Royce Freeman OL Joshua Miles

I think Newman has showed well in the preseason. He played well against Cris Jones. He will make the 53 man roster. I cant see them getting rid of Kiran A. either. He's not showed well but still has lots of potential.

They are talking about McFadden, not Newman.

Because Newman outperformed him and might make the 53.
