In a move that could bring the team a step closer to reuniting with receiver Marty Booker, the Bears have cut veteran wideout Muhsin Muhammad, according to Adam Schefter of NFL Network.
Muhammad was under contract through 2010, and was due to earn a base salary of $1.6 million in 2008.
Schefter also reports that the Bears are expected to release two other veteran players on Monday.
Muhammad was a second-round pick of the Panthers in 1996, and he spent nine seasons in Carolina. The Panthers released him in February 2005 in lieu of paying a $10 million roster bonus. Less than 12 hours later (could it be . . . tampering?), he signed a six-year, $30 million deal with the Bears.
With the Panthers still scrambling to find help at the wideout position, we don't rule out a return by Muhammad to Carolina.
