Jenkins? Nall? Bray?
Bray looked totally lost in the preseason game I watched. Maybe they can poach someone from the waiver list with some experience although the 3rd string guy will likely be stuck carrying the clip board anyway.
Bray might be able to make the practice squad if he’s not claimed. Since Nichols and Bullard are both still here, Jenkins expendable. Nall also Practice squad eligible. Trying to sneak him through waivers I guess. I would of kept him over FB Burton.
Surprised that Lynch survived. Don’t really need him with Mack
Quality depth is never a bad thing
I would of kept LeBlanc over Callahan, I think he stinks. Nall over FB Burton but otherwise It looked good. Interesting Bears keeping 5 TE’s and Coward as BU RT. Tolliver has potential I think. Grassu and White would be my trade bait as I think you could get SOMETHING for them anyway. Glad they kept Wims, he impressed.
They kept Mack???
I’m surprised about Bray most of all. If he gets snatched up and Trubisky stinks up the field or gets hurt. U got bring in someone. I will never understand going into the first month of the season with only 2 QBs. If ur starter gets hurt week one. Then u gotta sign someone off the street instead of someone who already knows the playbook and the skill guys from training camp.
There’s always Colin.
Brey is not a good QB. If Mitch gets hurt the season is over with anyway. Maybe they want a QB who just became available.
