#Bears have informed WR Marc Mariani his contract will be terminated

Im shocked too, didnt see this coming, especially after Braverman. I feel this is pretty unfair, Marc done everything he was asked, hes no KR/PR but he was money for us at WR last year. I guess Royal is healthy and Pace doesnt want to look like an idiot for signing him.
Also, two guys with nice connection with Jay, Marc and Moeki are gone... brave

Couldn't agree more. Yeah MM isn't going to make any pro bowls but the guy was money last year out of the slot and Jay obviously trusts him. Something I can't say about butterfingers Bellamy and wrong route White.

I'm shocked by that cut too. I'm very interested to see who are WR will be.

Not sure I understand your comments about White or Bellamy. I don't think either of those player's spot on the roster were in question. Bellamy and White didn't beat out Mariani - they weren't competing with him. Mariani lost the job - probably - because he doesn't have STeams value and because they're interested in going a different direction in the slot. Bellamy is a stud STeamer and was shown himself as a capable WR. White as safe as safe can be for a roster spot. He has a lot to learn but his ceiling is still incredibly high.

FWIW: Things are looking good in Deonte Thompson's house today.

#Bears have informed TE Ben Braunecker he will be placed on waivers. Would not be surprising if he returns to practice squad.

#Bears have informed TE Rob Housler his contract will be terminated.

So, were going with no TE formation this year

Wowsers, the Timu cut is a shocker to me. I thought he played well this preseason. I guess his struggles in coverage and his missed tackles gave the coaches some hesitation in keeping him active. Could be a practice squad player but he put on a lot of good tape this year and last. Might get scooped up early.

Still waiting on news on the DL front. No cuts announced there yet.

Wow. There are always a few eye raisers in the cuts.
