Well the reason they haven't officially announced Clutts being released is that a bunch of teams are interested in trading for him.

You said disaster. Not disappointed.

So you've determined that Evan Rodriguez is a disaster? Hardin got hurt...not sure that's a disaster. It's football, and he was going to be depth anyway, not a starter. Round 6 and 7 got cut. Big whoop.

Played well enough to get a job somewhere, I would think. Def. That's why we had to go with Blanchard for the practice squad. They'd never be able to keep McCown there. By rule they can't put McCown on practice squad, right? What rule is preventing that? Not saying you're wrong, I just don't know. EDIT: Ah yeah, too much experience....derp.

Packers cut OL Reggie Wells. Supposedly can play anywhere on the line. Maybe some interest there?

Bears waive WR Joe Anderson. Won't be a 3rd string QB. Blanchard will be on the practice squad, and thus is the closest thing we'll have to a 3rd string QB. The Bears clearly wanted to use that roster spot elsewhere.

Jabara Williams to the practice squad. Bears will sign Blanchard to the practice squad tomorrow.

Lorenzo Booker wins the 3rd RB job. Allen released. That's the right call, imo. McCown was released per Vaughn McClure.

Bears will waive CB Cornielius Brown. Cheta Ozougwu will likely make the team.

Biggs also say that the Bears will probably terminate the contract of McCown.

Bears will waive S Mark Legree Also, 7th round pick CB Greg McCoy.

It sounds like Okoye would be limited due to his knee early on and TB wasn't willing to wait through that. I guess the Bears are?

@seankjensen: BREAKING NEWS: #Bears close to re-signing DT Amobi Okoye, who was released by the bucs.

10 team snake draft QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, W/R/T flex, K, Def QB: Matt Ryan, Jay Cutler RB: Demarco Murray, Stephen Jackson, Michael Bush, Cedric Benson WR: Calvin Johnson, Hakeen Nicks, Miles Austin, Titus Young TE: Jermichael Finley, Jason Witten, Greg Olsen K: Garrett Hartley DEF: Buffalo Football Guys gave me around 75%-80% playoff chances depending on which person's rankings you look at.

CB Isiah Frey released, but will be added to practice squad.

Brittan Golden tweeted that he's been released. Biggs says Bears will part ways with Xavier Adibi, though not yet official.

Yeah, and Tice doesn't really use FB's. He just doesn't fit in. He's good at what he does, the Bears just don't need it.

Bears will waive Tyler Clutts.

The current OT rules are a hell of a lot better than that suggestion, and I kinda hate the current OT rules. Do you hate it because it takes away a team trying to rush down the field at the end? I can see that. I guess it is just whether you want the excitement of someone trying rush to score at the end or being more fair. I didn't mind the old OT rules, but just thought this would be more fair. A tie game in sudden death is already exciting. I wouldn't really care either way--and honestly wouldn't totally mind ending the games in a tie. I hate it because football doesn't work as a "short game". Yes, occasionally there's a quick drive, big pass, etc. But generally it's a grind it out, get 3-4 yards, try to sprinkle in the occasional big play game, and I dont' think that fits well into a confined space. I think OT ends up giving a win to one team and a loss to another, for a game in which both proved equal over the course of 60 minutes of play. I'd rather give them a tie and move along. Obviously that's not an option in the playoffs, and something has to be done there. I wonder how ties instead of OT would have affected this past season? If I get some time later in my Friday, I'll see if I can figure that out. I could definitely go along with giving the teams a tie, but the comment about football not really working as a short game is why I always thought it would be better to just continue on from where they left off. It seemed strange to need to start the game over from scratch with another coin toss and play a mini game to see who wins, rather than just continuing on with a slightly longer game to see who is the leader. Again, it is already arbitrary that we consider the winner the team with the lead after 60 minutes. Why not just continue on until someone has the lead again and stop the game at that point? Because that point the clock is irrelevant. Why have it? You also lose the urgency of the 2 minute drill.

Denver would have finished last in their division instead of first (with San Diego going to the playoffs). Arizona would have had a much better draft pick since they were 4-0 in OT games. Dallas would have had a worse record. Hard to know how that would have affected the NFC East because the tiebreakers already caused some strategy changes at the end of the last year. No Tebow in the playoffs? I call that a win.

I watched way too much of that game last night. The only real position battle is for the 3rd RB, and personally, I like Booker more than Allen in that regard. Booker looked a lot faster than Allen, and had better moves and vision.
