lets see if either of those teams has any interest once clueless jerry realizes he’s getting nothing for chester. my guess is not.

I must have missed the press release announcing Vinny Cerrato is back in the league as a GM. Who hired him? Cincy?

Making it that much harder to get on somewhere else. Because even with Jerry Angelo at the wheel, he can’t be dumb enough to think someone else would actually trade for him. Could.. he?

By advertising you would cut him when he feels “scorned,” he’s going to get called by the Bears rivals.

If he were to take a few reps off of Adrian Peterson when AP needed a rest, that would be a bonus.

He wasn’t even a good backup. Not to mention, HE IS A BACKUP. I don’t know why this guy is getting as much run as he is.

Jerry Angelo is an absolute tool. In related news, Bears go from first to worst in NFC North this year. Book it.
====================================

So cutting a RB that looks like he is going to be 4th on the depth chart is a bad move?
really?

Name one team in the NFL that would not make the very same move.
====================================

Has he been cut? NO! Word is now they plan to shop around a RB that looks like he is going to be 4th on the depth chart…and THAT makes him a tool

The Redskins learned this, the Bears learned this and I’m sure the Eagles will learn the same lesson next season.

2 1st round picks sounds about right.

Nobody will trade for Chester Taylor if they can get him for free or pay what he is expected to this year.

I suspect that they do not want him to suit up with another team within the division, namely the Vikings……who may not want him anyway.
