Horrendous Grasu

Yeah, I don't think he should be cut. Not yet anyway. Especially with the Bears guards not exactly pillars of health lately.

I doubt that Hiestand's coaching of techniques for the pros will differ much from what he would coach a lineman at the University level.

Ultimately, there has got to be a FA out there with a higher floor and ceiling than Horrendous Grasu.

I don't think Heistand ever had Grasu in college. Grasu was an Oregon guy, Heistand ND guy.

As my answer for every player not named Mike Glennon is, keep him. Until we no longer have plenty of cap space or until the first round of cuts there is no reason to cut people, yet. Lets see how these guys do with the new coaching staff. With that said if he is cut I won't lose any sleep over it.

Really? Another camp body to save less than 1M? It's a new offense, but Grasu will certainly be able to pick up the center's calls faster than "another body." Practices don't go so well if the center doesn't know what he's doing.

Glennon and Cooper should be cut a month ago. Probably Wheaton too, but I’m willing to let a halfway competent offensive staff have a say in that before it happens.

Not every free agent that Pace signed last off-season is gonna get cut. Glennon yeah. Maybe Demps. A lot of these guys that are one multi year guys are still gonna be around.

Derp. You're absolutely correct. Sorry about that one. Got my wires crossed with Helfrich.

I think we keep Cooper. His contract isn't crazy and he flashed last year, he's insurance if we lose Prince or Fuller. Year two with Vic should help.

Glennon should be cut, Wheaton, Young, Demps..hold off on others

i don't know if jarrell freeman is a free agent, but if he isn't, i'd give him the ax.
