    Josh Sitton

    Josh Sitton released by the Bears. Any interest, or too many hurt feelings after his release prior to the season opener in 2016? Too old? Or is he a suitable one-year stopgap like Jahri Evans?

    If they sign Sitton, he'll miss at least ten games or so. Some young buck will step in and show promise. So what's the point?

    You have to wonder why the Bears are letting him walk like TT did...

    Aging OL with a history of back issues. Sounds like a winner.

    Sign him cheap. He's undoubtedly better than the back ups we have.

    Still amazed at how fans are always ready to get players on the cheap.

    Part of the Brady/New England contretemps was over his last below market deal. Hoody promised to get him better receivers but it still took him a couple of years to deliver Brandin Cooks.

    Let the player beware.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    When I say sign Sitton cheap, it's with the idea that if he is worthless, he could just be cut. There's probably a better than even chance, though, that he still has enough that he is better than at least some of the O Linemen currently on the roster. What's the harm in that?

    We want a Reggie White-type signing. Is that too much too ask?

    a) he will get the veterans minimum and I believe it will be guaranteed at this point in his career.

    b) he takes reps from a younger player that will be better than him by next season.

    c) some team will pay him more than that if he isn't completely worthless.

    The way GB burns through O-lineman, hell yes bring him in on the cheap.

    Why wouldn't you kick the tires? That's the belicheckian way of doing things.

    TT is gone, this is a no brainer IMO. What's the alternative? Roll with an even older player considering retirement? What's the harm? There's basically no downside to this, and you never know, he may have some gas left in the tank.

    Not only is Sitton a no go, I'm not sure that Bulaga won't be shown the door.

    Cutting Bulaga shouldn't even be a second thought, he's dead weight.

    I would be very surprised if he came back. They let him go because he turned into a locker room cancer when he learned wasn't a re-sign priority for them...why would they want him back? He'll find work on another team's roster as a swing backup or compete for a starting job.

    He may be dead weight IYO but he's the best tackle we have right now other than Bak.

    He's a beast, for the 43 plays he will be healthy.

    This is where bad high draft picks can really hurt you. Releasing Bulaga would make a lot of sense if Spriggs looked ready to start. As it is, Bulaga is still the team's best RT.
