Big mistake cutting Alex Bars. Hopefully they can stash him on the Practice Squad.
After all the moves Pace has made when they’ve actually tried to compete, I have learned not to doubt any of his decisions. I for one think giving up on either of the Hall’s, was a bad idea.
Emanuel Hall couldnt make the Bucs either. Marvin Hall at best is the 7th best WR and that’s rhe only value he had or the potential to be.

Looks good. Go Bears!
Don’t see the sense in carrying 4 TEs but only 2 QBs. I’d sign Hoyer to replace Bray and go with 3 TEs.
What a disappointing year for Last Chance U. Ollie cut from Oakland, Allen cut from LA and now JF3 cut from Chicago. We wish you 3 the best!
4 players signed with other teams. Hall, Bunting, Bullard, and Franklin, Two years ago most would have made the team. Look at the practice squad. This might be the deepest team the Bears have ever had…… except kicker?
