ASHKUM BEAR

In case you didn't know, Terrell Smith CB signed to the practice squad with the Washington Commanders.

Exactly. With talent, love for the game, and work ethic, the system can be a small part because you are already have the keys. The system and gelling still matter at positions like QB and WR, maybe oline because one mistake will kill that play. On defense, you at least have 10 more defenders to help cover a mistake.

I have a theory that he made a pact with himself that he would be done once he got the second contract. He watched Nate Davis do it and is following his playbook. It is my dark theory and it is sad many fans have to think about this. I hope I am wrong and he does return and plays a huge role in the Bears success. His workout videos show he rehabbing, so not sure he would be throwing hints of his progress and work to quit.

And last year at the deadline, Ben Johnson told Poles he did not want the Bears trading picks for a DE. I assume it will be the same this year.

They needed 7 million for normal year operations, so that much was in the works. Adding 10 million more looks like they have a transaction or extension in the works

I am not sure what I must have heard, but not seeing that he has practiced. Maybe it was a siting at camp that was reported on the air?

I seen Monangai returned this week as well. Need a healthy running game all year.

I was waiting for this thread. Fireworks and popcorn could follow. I hope his intentions are to be the best and wish he took the route the Bears wanted. But that did not happen and IG posts about going to Paris for fashion bring back a taste Bears fans haven't forgotten.

Maybe they need a top ST coach, but even having one, Dave Toub, the Bears brought in specialists like Branden Ayanbadjeo, Blake Constanzo, McManis. Even Hester was basically ST only. I know what you mean that having players be good position players goes further than buying ST only guys.

Looking at best available free agents still out there, there are some interesting names that might be calling. Poles FA splash a few years ago Larry Ogunjobi, Leonard Floyd, Adoree Jackson. We really don't have the cap available, but if there's a guy, they can get creative.

I believe the practice squad is 16 players. 17 if you have an international player. 6 of the 16 can be veterans. 2 players can be elevated each week without having to clear waivers up to 3 games, they have to remain on active roster or be waived. The practice squad rules changed in 2020.

Kromah and Loving played well and earned the job. 4 TEs also, surprised but like that Strange kid. Practice squad will be interesting to see wants to remain a Bear

Never blamed the coaches, stating this is year 2 of DA and we are not going to see this vision. It's a huge let down to

Kiram Armagadje has been released. Cade Barnett (vanilla gorilla) waived. Hope they can get him to practice squad.
