You guys are too soft.. he's 30 years old, he's played in 45 of 64 games as a Bear. That ain't gonna go up. A guy missing 30% of games in his prime ain't reliable.
tease that out a little further to when he was with the Broncos and I think you would see that has defined his career.
Kwiatkowski has shown himself to be a nice, in house replacement. Unfortunately, he also hits FA this year. My guess is he would prefer to stay with the Bears if he can start and I don't think he will have outrageous demands.
I love Trevathan but he is like Callahan last year. You can't make the team from the ice tub.
I suppose if Kwit's market goes crazy and Trevathan will accept a 1-2 year deal I'd bring him back.
Yeah, I really like Trevathan as well. He's just a phenomenally tough, tenacious, and hard-hitting MFer with a great feel for the game. Kwiakoski actually seems to be a similar player to Trevathan in this regard. The knock on him, though, is his lack of coverage skills. I'm not convinced, however, that this assessment holds true based on what we've seen this year. In fact, it seems to me that Kwiatkoski has recently performed better in coverage than Trevathan has during his Bears tenure.
