Bears new signings (PS too) & trades

The Bears on Monday re-signed defensive lineman C.J. Wilson and waived running back Raheem Mostert.

Wilson originally signed with the Bears last Tuesday and was waived Saturday to make room for rookie tight end Ben Braunecker on the 53-man roster.

In a statement released by the Bears, they announced that Lasike is replacing injured receiver Kevin White, who has a fractured fibula.

That would still be my point.  No matter what Hoyer may do for a few games in reality he's on par with a Josh McCown and you don't win many games with QBs like that.  These types are career backup now having mostly failed as starters and if you have to play them you hope they can win some game for you but that's about it. Cutler is still a better starter than Hoyer.

As starting caliber QBs go Jay is not all that pricey so if you do decide to trade him you have to balance that out against what you're offered and if it's not enough to parlay into a pick to find a younger, better prospect then what have you gained vs continuing to keep him until you do?  I don't see that guy on the roster yet and neither does anyone else.

As for Connor Shaw all he appears to be so far is quite possibly a good #2 prospect with some upside but even if he does return 100% next summer he'd still be a good year away from being ready to start.  So who plays in 2017, Hoyer?  I guess that's fine if all you expect is another .500 season at best so that could easily end up being three below average seasons for Fox when the expectations were a fast turn around.

That wouldn't satisfy me and I'm sure most fans and the media would be howling for someones job by then.  Even if we drafted a QB next spring what are the odds we'd have one more prepared to win than a vet?  I don't see it.

Bears add tight end to practice squad, waive Demontre Hurst
By: Bryan Perez | 1 hour ago

After falling to 1-4 on the season, the Chicago Bears are going to keep an eye on the future while trying to remain competitive this year, so expect a lot of roster moves to be made over the next 12 weeks.

They made one such transaction today, electing to sign tight end Marcel Jensen to the practice squad. Cornerback Demontre Hurst, who was just promoted to the active roster on Saturday, was released.

Jensen has spent time with five teams after entering the NFL in 2014 as an undrafted free agent with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He played his college ball at Fresno State, and at 6-foot-6 and 270 pounds, he’s had opportunities with the Broncos, Flacons, Bills and Redskins in addition to the Jaguars.

Jensen caught 46 passes for 692 yards and seven touchdowns during his final two seasons at Fresno State. He has yet to catch a pass in the NFL.

Aside from Zach Miller, the Bears have a group of unproven and underwhelming tight ends on their roster. If Jensen impresses in practice, he could have an opportunity to receive a promotion to the active roster at some point in the 2016 season.
