No Toliver is shocking to me.
I'm gone. Have a nice life. I'm clearly not wanted here.

Tolliver is joining the Broncos practice squad according to the Tribune. It's quite a fall from competing for a starting job to not even making the roster. Maybe the Bears were interested in putting him on their practice squad but he preferred his chances with Fangio.

That makes sense.

I've been a huge Toliver fan since he was at LSU. I'm sad to see him not part of the roster, but he probably fits Fangio's defense better. I think he really has the chance at a bright future in the NFL.

I don't think Toliver's fall can be explained by Vildor.

Tolliver didn't just lose a roster spot to Vildor (and as a R5, he was always a near-lock, anyway) - he also lost one to Shelley, who was behind him all of last year.

Two years on the fringes of one of the league's best defenses to a place on another team's practice squad, he's not trending in the right direction wab. If he doesn't get a chance to be elevated to the Bronco's roster this season then his future isn't going to be bright at all.

Has "a chance at" a bright future.
