Roster Moves

Muhsin Muhammad, Fred Miller, and Darwin Walker were all cut today, while Alex Brown's contract was extended for 2 years.

So far, I like the moves. Miller & Walker were dead weight with large salaries, and Moose was simply too old, too slow, & too mediocre to make more than #4 WR money. Brown has been a good soldier, who is a decent pass rusher and a very good run stopper.

While dumping medicore players & creating cap space is a good thing, it's irrelevant unless Angelo follows up by spending the money on difference makers. If this means re-signing Briggs or Berrian, do it. We should absolutely draft a WR on the 1st day, and either re-sign Berrian, or sign Bryant Johnson or Dante Stallworth.

I'm interested to see what Angelo does on the o-line. My ideal off-season would bring in top free agent at guard, draft a tackle in round 1, a guard in round 3, and another tackle late, Angelo tends to make his big o-line moves in free agency.

One thing's for sure, this will be the most interesting spring we Bears fans have had in a while.
