Awesome.

Always wonder why Billy B dumps a guy? He doesn't dump them for character issues?

I know they usually have talent, but this is surprising?

Awesome.

rpb is wrong. Phil McCracken is useful.

RPB is right. You suck.

How many of the guys he cuts loose go on to experience success elsewhere? I can't really think of any.

Ty Law is all I can think of.

Our hotel smelled like dead hooker vagina (before you ask I had gotten a detailed description from beardown)

As for Meriweather, it’s surprising the Patriots didn’t try to trade him earlier at a higher value, or at least deal with him for one more season and let him leave via free agency, recouping a compensatory pick. Now they get nothing.

And the Patriots didn’t try hard to trade him yesterday. A dozen NFL teams said they had not heard Meriweather was on the trading block.

Belichick won’t say it, but his actions - or inactions - say everything: He just wanted Meriweather gone.

Why? Put aside the gun incident, the rap album, and the fact that he showed up slightly out of shape this year. Meriweather just never progressed from the time he arrived as the 24th overall pick.

His preparation was spotty, and that showed up on the field. Meriweather was always a step behind in his reads. And without his mentor, James Sanders, around, it wasn’t going to improve.

The Patriots could deal with Meriweather’s shortcomings when the rest of the defense and secondary was young, and Belichick was forced to play safe coverages.

But not this year. Not with this scheme.

The Patriots are intent on being an aggressive, pressure defense. They will only be successful if they can play more man coverage on the outside, and that gives greater responsibilities to the safeties. Meriweather would no longer just be the last line of defense.

This is what you can do when you have the best QB and coach in football.

Coach hoodie is an odd egg. They have cut productive players before, so I wouldn't read into that. But the idea that he is slated as the starter as soon as he learns the defense is a reach. He's not so bright.

At worst it's a depth move that needed to be made.

Didn't he go to the Pro Bowl every year including last year? He will be the starter with Chris Harris because they obviously think Major Wright is a major piece of shit.

Lawyer Milloy wasn't terrible after he was gone.

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

So are the Bears ready to dump Major Wright on the scrap heap of Bears #1 draft picks?
It really is amazing how good the Bears have been given Angelos terrible drafting.

Awesome.
