Chicago Bears: 4 recently-cut players to consider signing

The Chicago Bears have several options to continue improving their roster.

Over the weekend, teams had to trim their rosters down to the 53-man limit. While the Chicago Bears did so without any real major surprise, there were some teams who cut players which would add tremendous value to many rosters around the league.

Even prior to the official cuts, there were some notable names who were on the job hunt. Of course, the Leonard Fournette saga was the biggest story of them all. In Chicago though, no one was caught too far off guard with their moves.

The Bears’ biggest “surprise”, if you will, was the decision to release cornerback Kevin Toliver. An undrafted free agent at one point, Toliver had worked his way up to the active roster and had even played meaningful snaps for the Bears on multiple occasions. Now, Toliver joins an old friend in Vic Fangio after signing with the Denver Broncos.

The only other real head-scratcher for Chicago was the decision to let go of Artavis Pierce, but he did end up coming back as a member of the practice squad. Pierce had impressed during camp and many thought he had a shot to beat out Ryan Nall on the active roster.

As stated, surprises were few and far between in Chicago’s cuts. The storyline always has been, and will continue to be, at quarterback — and that could continue throughout the entire season.

Whether the season ends with Mitchell Trubisky or Nick Foles at the helm, depth is still a concern in certain areas. Luckily for the Bears, this week should potentially see a few more moves and they might include one of the following players.
