Possible Cuts
Mike Glennon (QB), 2018 Cap Hit: $16 million, Dead Money: $4.5 million
Verdict: Cut (Agree)

Josh Sitton (G), Cap Hit: $8.6 Million, Dead Money: $666,668
Verdict: Keep (Agree - he's got another year and he's coming off an ankle sprain - and the guy on the other side is the one I'm more concerned about)

Pernell McPhee (OLB), Cap Hit: $8.1 Million, Dead Money: $1 Million
Verdict: Cut (Yeah, or maybe re-do his deal if he passes a physical)

Dion Sims (TE), Cap Hit: $6.3 Million, Dead Money: $666,667
Verdict: Cut (I guess - we do have 3 TEs but all are receiver types)

Bobby Massie (RT), Cap Hit: $6.1 Million, Dead Money: $500,000
Verdict: Cut (Massie gave up 6 sacks not 7...this is pretty much in line with a typical Massie season - he struggles a bit on fast surfaces but who you going to plug into RT role?  We don't even have a swing tackle)  I'd keep him another year and draft/sign his replacement


Markus Wheaton (WR) and Marcus Cooper (CB), Cap Hit: $5.8 and $5.5 million, Dead Money: $750,000 and $1 Million
Verdict: Cut Both  (Wheaton was so underutilized and I have no explanation - but I agree )


Willie Young (OLB), Cap Hit: $5.4 Million, Dead Money: $900,000
Verdict: Keep (no brainer)

Kevin White (WR), Cap Hit: $5.3 Million, Dead Money: $5.3 Million
Verdict: Keep (no brainer)

Jerrell Freeman (ILB), Cap Hit: $4 Million, Dead Money: $500,000
Verdict:  Cut (He's the best MLB on the team - I'd do some research on the PED thing but I like him)

Prince Amukamara (CB)
Verdict: Re-Sign (solid guy but he was in the top 10 as most penalized corners in the NFL and rarely intercepts the ball- if we cut Cooper and Fuller's status is up in the air - Bears might have to get 3 or 4 new corners)

Dontrelle Inman (WR)
Verdict: Cut (Bring him to camp with Meridith, White, Inman, and Wright and bring on 2 or 3 more new faces - let the best men win)

Kendall Wright (WR)
Verdict: Keep (Re-sign - he's so slow but he gets open on those short routes)

Kyle Fuller (CB)
Verdict: Franchise Tag (he's 25 and it's not like he was horrible in 2014 and 2015 - the entire defense was epicly bad back then - sign him long term)
