If you're really in win now mode, this is a move you make. The kid was average on his best days last year. If you want Tyrod to stay on the field, better shore up the OL however you can

Anybody know what kind of offseason Miller had? If he put on thirty pounds of lean muscle and dropped his body fat percentage by 7-10 percent and increased his strength substantially that could make all the difference. Hasn't Whaley said most pros make the biggest jump from year one to year two. Plus I think Miller played hurt 2nd half of the season. Little early to give upnon him.

Mf'ers act like they forgot about Dray

What do you say to some 'backer you play?

Or anyone tryna bring tackles your way?

Wanna solve things with an incredible gain?

Go study a tape of ole Keith McK.

Miller has 3 years left on his contract. How is starting the season with him a 2nd teamer giving up on him? Odds are he'd play at some point this season anyway. Three more years before we have to make any sort of decision on him.

Yes it makes sense....

 

but

 

Do we not have a bit of a salary cap issue?

 

I mean I would rather do it if we dont plan on improving the RT position till next year?

 

Dan (cough) Carpenter $ No?

I bet they cut KuJo if they sign Slaussen.

 

 

I think that is very likely. Did someone say above the maximum saving on KuJo is from a post 1 June cut? If so expect that to be the way they go.

While KuJo has been a grand disappointment, I'd rather get rid of Richardson first.

Kujo provides depth at LT too. I don't think we have anyone else with experience there if Glenn couldn't play

Bears GM Ryan Pace's decision to cut Matt Slauson is confusing, troubling

 

 

Bears GM Ryan Pace cut starting guard Matt Slauson, the guy teammates considered the toughest player in the locker room, a veteran who could not have epitomized a throwback player any more without wearing a leather helmet.

That message confuse anyone else?

Word quickly spread that the Bears sought more athleticism from at guard, as if offensive linemen carried batons and crossed finish lines. Yet nobody at Halas Hall complained publicly or privately last year about Slauson's ability to function when he was, at worst, the Bears' second-most reliable lineman and, at best, their most consistent.

This would be big for us. He's a vet, would be cheap. And we only need him for 2 year deal till Miller gets his act together. This makes a lot of sense.

 

Hopefully a RT will fall into our lap with a June 1st cut

 

Our only hope, can't believe Whaley ignored RT in the draft.

@adamschefter

Former #Bears starting G Matt Slauson has visits scheduled with the and #Bills.

 

@mikerodak

Matt Slauson has a background with Rex Ryan (with NYJ) and Aaron Kromer (with CHI). Bills have likely freed some cap space from Glenn deal.

 

:thumbsup:

Wouldn't shock me at all to see them sign Slauson...nor would it surprise me if they made a push for Anquan Boldin now that they have a bit more cap room.

 

You think they can fit both Slauson and Boldin under the cap w/o lowering Gimore's cap hit?

Don't know if they can do it, but I like it. When Lofton arrived he made that offense much better. If Boldin has anything left this would be great.

Slauson would be nice, but why wouldn't they have considered Jhari Evans if they wanted a one year rental. The price will be the same. I'm not against picking up Slauson. If he adds to the team, great.

 

Regarding Boldin, I thought Rex likes more of the speed guys vs. possession WR. He's been productive for a long time.
