For reference, cap hits this year:
Amukamara $7m
Fuller $3.082m
Callahan £0.615m
We can get rid of Cooper for $1 million in dead money.
Cooper shouldn't have been on this roster after the Steelers game let alone have lasted an entire season.
Eh... Cooper was a key performer in that victory. He cost us 4 points, but he also was huge in shutting down AB.

Cooper not playing isn't because he sucks. He isn't playing because Fuller is having a terrific season.

I'm not sure.
If that's the reason, why isn't Cooper getting more reps in 5/10?

I'm feeling like he got doghoused after the fumble incident.

FWIW, Lemming expects the Bears to keep Amukamara over Fuller and draft his replacement. Per the Twitter.

Citing it as a similar situation to Jeffery last year. I think it would be a mistake to let Fuller go...but who knows.

I think Fuller might want to bolt right now but a new head coach could change that.

Is it just me or does something seem 'off' about Fuller? It's hard for me to place my finger on it but he's either extremely shy/reserved/awkward around the media or there is something wrong with that dude.
