Marcus Freeman released

[psubills62]

The Bears chose LB Marcus Freeman (from Ohio State) in the fifth round of the draft, but just released him today.

We've already got a lot of youth and inexperience at LB. If the cuts weren't already very hard to make, I'd say he'd be a good pickup. But right now I think we have some good options at LB.

per rotoworld:

"Bears released LB Marcus Freeman.

The fifth-round pick out of Ohio State has a good chance to catch on somewhere else as he can play special teams. It looks like the Bears will only keep six linebackers."

A lot of guys are cut early so that they fall through waivers while most teams are still over the roster limit and trying to figure out there last 1 or 2 cuts.

I remember many posters ripping Buffalo for choosing Harris over Freeman. Guess Freeman doesn't transition that great at NFL level. He got cut already. Chicago doesn't value him enough to risk losing him through waivers.

Or maybe Chicago's linebacking corps are a lot better and deeper than the Bills. Nic Harris would very well be cut by Chicago.

Umm, I was never a fan of this guy and you can check my record on that.

Screw him.

Then why draft a 5th Rder in a position of zero need? Bills fans get furious when we do that drafting a DB? If we then go and cut that position of no need, people get livid for wasting the pick.

Marcus Freeman is flat out overrated. They had him as a freaking 2nd rder and he fell to 5th for a reason and was cut for a reason too

I would be happy to have him on our practice squad if they don't want him.
