ESPN Chicago - Chicago Bears general manager Jerry Angelo held true to his statement Friday about the club's plan to make several roster moves this week.
The Bears announced the release of defensive tackle Tommie Harris on Monday, and terminated the contracts of linebacker Hunter Hillenmeyer and offensive lineman Kevin Shaffer.
Not terribly surprising since Tommie was invisible up until week 12 or so and had a monster contract. Still, you gotta worry that his knee comes back 100% and he starts slicing through gaps like he did in 2006. Just mashing faces every single play back then.
Hunter Hillenmeyer was a nice piece but wasn't ever going to break into the starting lineup. This probably means that we'll see a LB taken in the 4th round and promptly discover that he doesn't know how to jog or something. Angelo has been brutal on draft day the past few years.
Kevin Shaffer. Meh. Outside of Kreutz, Garza, and maybe Webb there isn't anyone on the line who's guaranteed to be on the team next year. Someone step up and protect the franchise because you know Martz has 11 step drops somewhere in the playbook and they're getting called no matter what.
Roster Moves are unbuster Bears news. Keep coming back.
