The udfa haul this year isn't great either.   Ahmed Wagner switching to U TE is interesting.  RB Artavis Pierce has a shot at the roster because rb is thin.  Dieter Eiselen is big and seems nasty.  The highlights of him destroying ivy league defenders is fun.

Maybe they can move another CB to SS

I'm keeping an eye on Stephen Denmark last years's 7th rounder.   He's huge, sub 4.5 40 and 42" vertical.  He's a small school project that I think Bears should be moving to safety.  He got "hurt" in preseason and we never got much of a chance to see him play.

I'm thinking after the cuts we'll see another safety signed.

...or maybe sign Tony Jefferson at an injury risk incentive laden discount

IMO final TE room will end up being Kmet, Graham, Horstead, Harris, and Stoltz as more of FB.  Raymond maybe on the taxi squad...

True, kinda lost and forgotten. I guess we'll just have to look for him come TC. He's kinda like this years crop of UDFAs. I still think we missed the boat not doing a tradedown from 50 to pick up a SS.

Don't count out Braunecker.  And has Shaheen been released yet?   Still wondering what he could contribute if healthy - but he's probably gone.

I thought I just read something saying Shaheen is gone... I could be wrong

I believe it was speculation he was gone. I've not seen it in print.

McDonough was canned after presiding over 3 championships in the last 10 years.

Dear Virginia and George,

Besides the obsolete undersized spaceship ATM machine by the lake, remind me again why sweaty Teddy still has his job?

The Bears are bringing back John Jenkins.

He'll provide some nice depth on the DLine...

Say what:

The Bears added someone to catch passes who isn’t a tight end, even though he has hands like a guard.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Bears have agreed to a one-year deal with veteran receiver Ted Ginn Jr.

They were looking for someone with speed, and the 35-year-old Ginn still has that.

His ability to catch flying things remains suspect, and it remains to be seen if he can still be productive when not playing with an MVP-level quarterback. He had good years in Carolina with Cam Newton, and was an effective complement early on with the Saints and Drew Brees.

Otherwise, the former top-10 pick has been less than consistent in terms of catching the ball, and now he’ll be on the receiving end of passes from (probably) Nick Foles or (maybe) Mitchell Trubisky.

He looked pretty good against the Bears last season.  Had a 45 yard catch.
