The Bears dropped a number of players today in their quest to get down to a 53-man roster. Here are the cuts that we know of so far. All links to go to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune (on Twitter), unless otherwise noted.
Waived:
- WR B.J. Daniels (Twitter)
- DT Terry Williams (link)
- C Khaled Holmes (link).
Released:
- G Shelley Smith (link)
- OL Garry Williams (link)
- CB Kevin Peterson (link)
Waived/Injured:
- LB Danny Mason (link)
Mason suffered a knee sprain in last night’s preseason game. Daniels hooked on with the Bears in late July, making them his fifth NFL franchise since San Francisco picked him in the seventh round of the 2013 draft. The former South Florida quarterback has spent time at both QB and receiver in the pros. In his eight appearances (six with Seattle, two with Houston) last year, he lined up at wideout and on special teams.
Watch out for this team. Maybe not this year, but 2017-2020. Pace building good, young team through draft and their salary cap situation is very strong.
If only they had a good QB.
