With Brandon Marshall gone, Bears now have to be praying that Alshon Jeffery stays healthy. Of course, they have a QB who makes almost as much as Rodgers, so I'm sure they'll be fine.

Friday, I listened to an interview with Bowen on 670. He was really critical of the roster. Said McClellan showed nothing to make it look like he can play inside or anywhere else on the defense, and Jared Allen doesn't look like he can transition to LB He said no one in the D backfield looks willing to step up to tackle Eddie Lacy, or capable of covering Nelson or Cobb. Then he and the show host talked about the Packers having two or three Nelsons, because no one WR can show up so many places doing so many things. Concluded by saying it looks likely that the Bears D coaches will soon conclude, if they haven't already, that this year will be a lost year as far as rebuilding, because there isn't much to work with.

So White being out is a good thing for them since it likely improves their draft slot next year. Draft is in Chicago again next year so perhaps they'll be battling for the top pick.
Anyone know if they can afford to dump Cutler after this year? What a load that guy is on the franchise.
According to Spotrac, Cutler goes from $29,500,000 dead cap hit this year down to $13,000,000 if he gets cut next year - $11 mil after June 1. Huge difference obviously but $13 mil hit to cut a guy is nothing to sneeze at.
What a colossal mistake that was to give Cutler that contract extension. They could have let him go and drafted Bridgewater or Derek Carr on the 1st round. They would have their QB of the future and they'd be paying one of those guys about 15 million less than they're paying Cutler. And that's why they're the Bears.
