Initial rosters are now set across the NFL after a whirlwind of activity took place on Tuesday. Teams needed to trim their rosters from 80 players down to 53 by the 3 p.m. CT deadline.
The Chicago Bears and general manager Ryan Poles made some difficult decisions, but have their initial roster in place as they look ahead to week one. But things can change in the NFL at the drop of a hat and it’s fair to say the Bears probably aren’t done tinkering with their team.
837 other players were recently waived or released from their respective teams over the course of the last few days, meaning plenty of talent is now available that wasn’t before. It’s very likely Poles and the Bears look into a few players to upgrade the team.
Here are eight recently waived or released players the Bears would be wise to consider, in no particular order.
