Connorbear Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Sorry to hear. I would have liked to see him play in the Superbowl again. I think this may be the end of his career. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DABEARSDABOMB Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I am so pissed that we wasted money on Ball vs. bringing Peanut back. I rarely am one of those veteran homers on this site, but Peanut was that guy for me and I hate seeing him play somewhere else. He brought so much to the lockeroom and community and was always a good mentor/role model for other players. Wish Peanut a speedy recovery and I hope if he is truly going to hang it up, he signs a 1 year deal with the Bears and than announces his retirement.

I called it. Bad decision by the front office. He would have helped a lot this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't he a free agent? If so, he wasn't let go. Regardless, I love Peanut but I think his time is done now with this injury. I hope they resign him just for a day so he can retire a Bear. Then, if I had a choice in the matter, the Bears would sign him to a lifetime service contract. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace For all intents and purposes, he was let go. He wanted to stay in Chicago, and would have worked with the Bears if they were even remotely interested in signing him. Just like Urlacher, all they had to do was bargain with him, give a "thanks for being a legendary Bear player"-bump above league minimum, and he likely would have retired a Bear.

We have no idea what happened. This is simply conjecture. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connorbear Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 We know that happened with Urlacher for a fact. Yes. He was offered more than the veteran minimum and turned it down. No other team in the league signed him after that. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFan2000 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Peanut was one of my favorite Bears and was sad to see him go, sad to see him going on IR. He's reached a point where the mind is willing but the body isn't. Class act on and off the field he played the game the right way and was an asset to the community. I hope he does sign a one day contract to retire a Bear. He will always be a Bear. I think he'd make a heck of a DB coach if he does indeed hang em up for good.
