Very disappointing regarding Kyler. He’s been hurt all offseason after being hurt all season. Not saying it is his fault - but availability is key and he just isn’t.

Kyler really didnt want to play football. It was out there somewhere. He is going to milk any injury and collect the last dollar until its figured out.

Too Bad. He's good but you just cant count on him.

And with JJ needing a big payday soon (and not deserving it) and Stevenson being a wild card, it's no wonder we drafted Muhammad. And we will draft another CB next year.

I hope they are being careful but like you said, its been a problem ever since he got paid.

I have to believe Ben Johnson is fuming over Kyler's soft tissue vacation. BJ likes players who are dedicated, with a balls-to-the-wall attitude. Kyler reported to camp last year with soft tissue issues. He was basically lost for the season, and now, 6 months after last season ended for the Bears, he still has soft tissue problems? I never heard of soft tissue issues taking a year to rehab, unless the soft tissue they are talking about is Kyler's brain.

I guess it is because he ended the season on IR and once he reports to camp, the Bears doctors have to clear him. He could be on the practice field Tuesday if given the green light. We will find out soon.

100%

I read a couple places that all summer hes been a regular at the clubs, staying out late, maybe even doing coke. These are rumors not reports, but if it's true, then he is gone after this year, maybe sooner.

You cant really afford to cut him for a while, it'd cost an extra $9.6M against this years cap, or cut him early next year where his $15M dead money would only bring $800k in cap savings. BUT if you trade him this year, right now, you clear up $10.4M this year! If you trade him next year before june 1st, you clear up $8.3M of cap space.

If we could find someone to take him now, we'd eat the guaranteed money, he'd play for them for $10.4M, $10.8M and $10.8M the next three seasons (2026, 2027, 2028)

Maybe someone wants him?

If you are talking about Kyler he played the final two games. If it is Edward’s he practiced with club earlier but had some minor injury I guess come up.

But Ayo who ruptured his Achilles is not on the pup list which is a good sign.
