The Packers have found defensive line help from an unlikely source. Green Bay has claimed Ego Ferguson off of waivers from the Bears, according to Field Yates of ESPN.com (on Twitter). 
Ferguson, a second-round pick of the Bears’ old regime, was released last week. His exit from Chicago was a long time coming. He played in only four games in 2015 due to injuries and a suspension. Then, he missed all of last season with a shoulder injury. In total, he played in only 20 games since being drafted in 2014. In that time, the 25-year-old (26 in September) compiled 26 tackles, two sacks, and three passes defended. That’s not quite what Phil Emery had in mind when drafting him.
The Packers have gotten an up-close look at Ferguson over the past three years or so and they apparently feel that he still has something to offer. If Ferguson can get on the right track, stay healthy, and make the team, he could get multiple opportunities to make the Bears regret letting him go.
Man, how desperate are the Packers to pick up a guy that the Bears couldn’t even use!
Desperate?
It’s the definition of zero cost, zero risk signing with a hint of upside.
Did they discover a player whose value is so low as to go a bit undetected by others?
In any case, they’ll get an up close look and decide.
Risk less.
Now we’ll find out how bad Pace is. If Ferguson plays well for the Packers, that tells us Pace sucks.
is it too early the Ego has Landed jokes?
