Well you wouldn't want him to be your only option. The injury history and up and down play. He is an interesting option though.

This makes sense. Cutting Cooper save the Bears 8 million. If Amerson is a depth move, fine. I was impressed with Prince and Fuller, both had good seasons. Fuller and Butler gets me giddy! Getting rid of Cooper would be fine by me, dude was fools gold.

If we don't cut Cooper surely Chicago does all the bad bits from the Eagles celebration?

I say you sign both Amukamara and Fuller and you cut Cooper. It'll cost you but it's worth it. Cooper's dead cap space i$1M. Amukamara might be three year deal at $20M with $8M guaranteed and a year 1 cap it of $6M? And I could see Fuller looking for something like 5/$55M/$25M.

Also, we need to resign Bryce Callahan who's an RFA and really coming on in the slot.

I'd like to see the full secondary back together next season. They're relatively young, improving and in synch with each other and the coaches.

we'd better start greasing some light poles just in case.

I want Cooper gone. Cut him yesterday. That Pittsburgh BS was disgraceful.

You need to tell the guy flying in from Seattle!

I've heard that those never actually heal. You just have to manage it.

I think this would be to replace Amukamara.
Who would pick up the slack in getting all those INTs Amukamara produced? :evilgrin:
