If none of their teams re-sign them or designate them with the franchise tag, the following players are all due to be unrestricted free agents: Matt Cassel, Kerry Collins, Jeff Garcia, J.P. Donovan McNabb and Brett Favre are fun to talk about, but the odds of either wearing Blue and Orange on are worse than a gun inside of Plaxico Burress's sweat pants. With so many players performing below their potential resulting in a roster filled with question marks, the Bears have nothing to trade and need to hold onto every draft pick they have. So if the Bears were to at least consider bringing in some competition for Orton (not Rex Grossman again) heading into training camp next summer, they have three different routes to follow: free agency, the draft, or via trade. The former Tulane product has amasses a lot of carries in his rookie year, but has so far proven he can withstand the punishment. If a guy is deemed one of the greatest returners in NFL history, doesn't it seem strange to suddenly remove him from what he does best?įurther more, the Bears finally have a legitimate running back who can catch the ball out of the backfield in Matt Forte. Disagree? How many touchdowns has Hester returned this season while working two jobs? Zero.

Hester can't be football's best kick returner and the team's No. Current role players Marty Booker and Brandon Lloyd have done nothing to prove they should return next season.ĭevin Hester will always be a big tease to stretch the field, but Bears fans and the Bears coaches need to ask themselves where the 'Windy City Flyer' is more valuable.

First of all, it really doesn't matter who is throwing the passes if general manager Jerry Angelo doesn't bring in a true, number one receiver.
