Bears Release Alex Brown

What a shame.  The Bears release Alex Brown after shopping him around the past few weeks.  Chicago couldn't get a trade done so the team sent him packing.

The 31-year old was to make $5 million bucks this season.  As a Bear he started 107 games in eight seasons and had 43.5 sacks.

That opens the door for Mark Anderson to become the starter opposite newly acquired Julius Peppers.

So long Alex.  I'll miss you.  You were a great Bear!  Here is my interview with Alex last season after beating the Detroit Lions at Soldier Field.

What Are The Bears Doing?

Will someone that is a lot smarter than me explain what the Bears are doing?  There are many needs, but isn’t wide receiver and offensive line the most urgent?  The one position we are stacked is tight end, and pretty solid at tailback with Forte and Bell.

So the Bears are in the hunt for Chester Taylor, sign Brandon Manumaleuna, and are reported to sign Julius Peppers.

Don’t get me wrong, I will take all three, but I hope they are also in the mix for at least 2 receivers and some line help!  Last year’s offensive line handed out one way tickets to the quarterback.

Like I said, if you have a clue what the Bears are thinking, please let me know!
