They have 1.7 million in cap, so no lol. I would bet that the Bears do sign Sitton.

 

Bears also claimed C Eric Kush from the Rams and CB Cre'Von LeBlanc from the Patriots.

Kush was one of the main guys on Hard Knocks

Bears must love that show

Ha, I was thinking the same thing. Khari Lee and now Eric Kush. Next year we need to be on the lookout for fan favorites who are borderline to make the roster.

 

I do like Kush, though. T-shirt printing companies in the Chicago area are about to see a spike in revenue.

 

Josh Sitton is a must.

Who wouldn't love a show where a guy legit believes in mermaids and another doesn't believe in dinosaurs.

And it's the same guy

Why wouldn't they sign Josh Sitton at this point? They should have some cap room and they must know they need more depth at offensive line.

Adios, Robbie.

 

Wow. Didn't think they'd pull the plug this soon. He was great but obviously has declined.

QUOTE (Tony @ Sep 4, 2016 -> 08:16 PM)
Adios, Robbie.

There was a tweet that releasing Gould was in essence releasing their entire offense. He has been in decline, and this pre season wasn't so hot. I wonder who the replacement is.

QUOTE (Tony @ Sep 4, 2016 -> 08:16 PM)
Adios, Robbie.

 

Wow. He would have been gone last season if not for his long career.. I think that's the last piece from the Super Bowl and Lovie era Bears. At least I got Lovie in Champaign. And Urlacher on every other billboard on I-90 with his new hair.

 

Who will be the new kicker? I can't imagine John Fox going for two all the time

Stupid question, but I rarely think about special teams. Are kickers particularly difficult to find?

I think if they were easy to find, they never would have paid him what they paid him. But it does seem as a whole, kickers are a lot more reliable than they used to be. Robbie has slipped without a doubt. Hopefully they find someone as reliable as he has been over the years.

Right. And again this is just based on the few teams I get the opportunity to watch, but it seems like every year some kicker is leading the franchise or some college kid is kicking the ball 60 yards.

Solid Mold

3 year deal.

Bears have a great Guard combo good signing.

Nice, although I have to be a little hesitant if Green Bay is willing to cut him, they seem to be so on point with their talent evaluation.

 

Could this signing have any connection to the Gould release? Not sure how the Bears salary cap looks

No bearing Bears have no cap issues.

Thanks. Just seems weird they cut Gould now and not a few days ago if the cap hit doesn't really matter

@csnmoonmullin

 

odd #Bears roster shuffle - cut LS Aaron Brewer, bring back Patrick Scales, who was Robbie Gould's LS last year - ?? - cut G Amini Silatolu

Can someone explain the outrage over releasing Gould and how the meatballs are upset by the direction Pace has taken? It's a complete rebuild that isn't done yet - I doubt Cutler, Jeffery, Houston and Royal are in the future plans.

I don't think there is much outrage. I think people are questioning why Gould had no competition in training camp, and the answer there might be simple.

Kickers are going to go to a team they think they can make. Gould has been entrenched. Maybe they wanted to bring Barth in earlier but he thought he had a better shot in NO.

 

Gould has had some injuries, but did his slide start with the injuries or Mannelley retiring? The snapper can make a huge difference.

 

Anyways, Barth isn't too shabby, and he is pretty much automatic inside 40.

I can't believe how lucky we are with Sitton. Completely flips around my hopes for our oline. Can't wait for Whitehair to replace larsen. Going to have some much better pass blocking and holes

I'm sort of amazed how much of a short term memory some Bears fans have. Gould cost the Bears at least two games last year. His run was great but all great things come to an end.

 

I love the Sitton pick up as well.
