Sherrick McManis Bids Farewell to Chicago
The player with the longest tenure on the Bears will not return, as he sends his love to the city on Twitter.
McManis is from Peoria, IL and attended Northwestern University in Evanston, so he knew the area well.
Primarily a special teams player, McManis has been with the Bears through all the trials and tribulations of the past decade. He’s played for 4 different head coaches, 4 different special teams coordinators/coaches, and 4 different defensive coordinators in his time with the Bears. Though he wasn’t the guy you saw all over the stat sheet, he was dependable and stuck with this team for a long time.
The writing was on the wall when the Bears didn’t re-sign McManis, and Thomas Graham Jr. was issued his old #27 for the Bears this year, but it’s real when he takes to social media to say goodbye.
The 33-year old McManis would enter his 12th season in the NFL should he wish to sign with a team. When he does retire, this offseason or another, one should hope the Bears sign him to a one-day contract so he can retire a Bear.
