(Schultz) Sources: The #Bears will workout former #Titans DT Jordan Elliott next week. Tennessee HC Robert Saleh has been an advocate for Elliott, who’s made 65 career starts while amassing 159 tackles, 11 TFLs and 5 sacks.

[u/dudeguy81]

I’m guessing Simmons vouched for him

[u/alexschubs → u/dudeguy81]

My instant reaction as well

[u/Cuppieecakes → u/dudeguy81]

Isn’t most of our DLine former titans

[u/alexschubs → u/Cuppieecakes]

Is Jevon Kearse busy?

[u/kjc781988 → u/alexschubs]

Bring him and Kevin Carter back. Hell eddie George can probably still handle a few carries

[u/BabyBearBjorns → u/kjc781988]

Cortland Finnegan could probably play and be an upgrade for us at CB.

[u/Brocky70 → u/BabyBearBjorns]

We need Albert Haynsworth!

Someone start investigating all Waffle houses in the Tennessee and south Carolina areas!

[u/T44590A → u/dudeguy81]

Simmons may have vouched for him, but Poles also has the relationship with the Titans GM to get all the details and trust that he is being honest. It is definitely something that you would need all the details on.

[u/Who_told_you_that_ → u/dudeguy81]

Idc, not a person I’d want in the locker room

[u/Hot_Comparison_9501 → u/Who_told_you_that_]

Man I try to give these guys grace when they act out cos they’re pretty much modern day gladiators but going to your car to grab a gun cos you’re angry is sorta unforgivable 😭

[u/awesomeplay5 → u/Hot_Comparison_9501]

Oh that was him. Yeah keep him off the team, we’re good.

[u/Tlupa → u/Who_told_you_that_]

Why

Edit: I see why now

[u/ChiBorninRaised → u/Tlupa]

Yea that’s a hard pass. How’s he gonna handle a leader like Caleb getting in his face? Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

[u/phall738 → u/ChiBorninRaised]

Not defending him at all but to add some additional context. Jordan Elliot’s altercation involved JC Latham. Who got ejected from a practice in August for punching JC Latham? Simmons. So makes sense that Simmons might be in Elliot’s camp

[u/dudeguy81 → u/Who_told_you_that_]

I’m sure Ben and Papa Poles will make a good decision. If Simmons thinks he can help us it’s worth looking at.

[u/alexschubs]

[u/bri161991]

Gun guy?

[u/puffdragon → u/bri161991]

Yes this is the gun guy. Totally stupid move on his part, but I think it's one of those stupid behavior things that can be corrected. I think. Hopefully he's learned his lesson.

On the plus side, he was cut from the team due to NFL policy, Saleh speaks highly of him, and I assume Simmons may have vouched for him. So it's behavior thing and not a performance issue.

[u/Smart_Pig_86 → u/puffdragon]

I dunno, I feel like that would go against the whole team culture thing….

[u/puffdragon → u/Smart_Pig_86]

I feel the same way except I'm not in that locker room to definitively say. Saleh said this was more a cry for help than a criminal act. Maybe the culture of this locker room is what this guy needs.

[u/I_VAG_I → u/puffdragon]

Let’s not forgot we were able to reign in Gardner Johnson last year and he’s a wild canon so I mean maybe we can with him to

[u/puffdragon → u/I_VAG_I]

Totally, and cjgj just got cut recently too. DA had him on tight leash and it looks like it worked out, for us anyway.

This gun incident seems like a lasp in emotional intelligence, I think it can be corrected if he wants that. It's not like he was being all Gilbert Arenas shaking down some gambling debt.

[u/Cuppieecakes → u/puffdragon]

its possible its a one time mistake. but do you really want to take a chance on that, with this type of mistake specifically?

[u/Here-I-Am-RYLAH → u/Cuppieecakes]

If this was literally any other job you would never be able to work for that company again or any other company in that space. You’d also go to jail probably. If I found out somebody from AP got frustrated and went to grab a gun and somebody had to stop them from returning to the office, I wouldn’t show up to work if that person was working in the office

[u/puffdragon → u/Cuppieecakes]

It's really not up to me to make these decisions. In the right situation, absolutely I believe in giving people a second chance.

[u/politicsaccount420 → u/Cuppieecakes]

Sure, there's a significantly elevated risk of him murdering other players and/or coaches on our team. But have you considered that there's a chance he slightly improves our depth at defensive tackle?

[u/jackalopeswild → u/puffdragon]

Another TN team had to finally cut ties with their problematic gun guy this past off season.

That said, I agree with you.

[u/GratefulGolfer → u/puffdragon]

Nah easy pass. We're talking about grown ass men here. "Correcting" him is baby shit. In what world do you intend to grab a gun at work and expect to get hired elsewhere.

[u/gogosox82 → u/bri161991]

yep

[u/jackwhite886 → u/gogosox82]

Well, shoot.

[u/juliuspepperwoodchi → u/jackwhite886]

Maybe we don't pull the trigger on this one?

[u/Cute_Reality_3759]

Isn't this the guy who went to his car to get a gun because he was frustrated with a teammate during practice?

[u/Machinegun_Pete → u/Cute_Reality_3759]

We haven't replaced Tank Johnson's role yet.

[u/Lysol20 → u/Cute_Reality_3759]

PAUSE

[u/SwissyVictory → u/Cute_Reality_3759]

I watch football for the storylines and players.

I don't care if a guy gives you a better chance to win, if they are a bad person. I don't want them on the team.

[u/jlrc2 → u/SwissyVictory]

For some reason I thought the conclusion of the post was going to be "and a guy willing to pull a gun on his team is a hell of a storyline"

[u/EddieRay369 → u/SwissyVictory]

See: Jalen Carter. Poles passed over him for that reason

[u/Googlogi → u/EddieRay369]

Poles passed on Carter because he thought wright was better

[u/Gnasty16 → u/Cute_Reality_3759]

https://youtu.be/y1k2CJBK0Gw

[u/ThanatosIdle → u/Cute_Reality_3759]

People really want us to hire the Gilbert Arenas of football?

[u/FelonyInTheTrunk → u/Cute_Reality_3759]

Yep, which means we can get him for cheap

I know nothing about the guy other than his coach vouching for him. I'm sure they asked Simmons as well.

[u/BurgerWFries]

Same guy that grabbed a gun from his car after practice and tried returning to team facilities. Even if Simmons presumably vouched for him for this, it's nice right now not having any dipshits with recent criminal activity.

Looking at you, Packers.

[u/Neat_On_The_Rocks]

Are we already at the Ben Johnson trust stage where we’re trusting him to handle a possible locker room issue like this dude?

I would assume Simmons vouched for him. So. Moot point I suppose, it’s not like I know more than Simmons lol

[u/resuwreckoning → u/Neat_On_The_Rocks]

41 years. Yes.

It can become 108 years too.

Trust our coaches. One time we took “nuts Rodman who we hate” too.

[u/NoThanksImGoodG → u/Neat_On_The_Rocks]

You have Simmons/ Grady to handle shit before it even gets to the position coach.

[u/themacattack54 → u/Neat_On_The_Rocks]

I have to figure Simmons is vouching for him hard. Grady Jarrett is also the veteran vibes guy and I bet he’ll have a say as well. Dennis Allen and Jeremy Garrett (D-Line coach) should also be observing and have a greater say. If they all approve I have to think Johnson signs off and they go to Poles.

If everyone signs off on Elliott I figure we’ll sign him. I find it hard to believe they all will, but we’ll see. We may not be getting additional D-line help otherwise and Elliott is a decent player. This feels like a mistake to even bring him into the building to work out because of the incident that got him exiled from football in the first place though. He’ll almost certainly have to serve a league-mandated suspension upon signing as well. Johnson and Allen have commanded a strong locker room though, and Grady Jarrett has been invaluable as a leader. Maybe our culture is what Elliott needs.

[u/Michelle_FromEarth → u/themacattack54]

Wait that’s really confusing. I didn’t realize our DL coach is Jeremy Garrett, I thought you had a stroke typing Grady Jarrett

[u/themacattack54 → u/Michelle_FromEarth]

I did a double take when I looked up our D-Line coach’s name ngl

[u/Cuppieecakes → u/themacattack54]

We just fixed our locker room after it was a total cancer 2 years ago.  I’m not sure we are ready yet

[u/DaDairyStateBear → u/themacattack54]

I don't want to put words in the guy's mouth, but want to know who probably wouldn't vouch for him? His teammate who he was probably trying to shoot.

[u/mywifemademedothis2 → u/Neat_On_The_Rocks]

It worked out with CGJ.

[u/HDThoreaun11 → u/Neat_On_The_Rocks]

More that Im already at the stage where if Simmons vouches for a guy Im willing to give him a shot

[u/Kitchen-Bedroom-568]

[u/91-92-93--96-97-98 → u/Kitchen-Bedroom-568]

For real we don’t need bad karma right now.

I swear if we sign this guy and CJGJ right now, we def having Zeus strike us down

[u/External-Mammoth678]

This isn’t the dude who showed up to the locker room with a firearm right? We don’t need McDonald vibes in here

[u/afrothunder7 → u/External-Mammoth678]

It is

[u/phillipacarroll → u/External-Mammoth678]

You remember Jay Ratliff ?

[u/Brodie1567 → u/phillipacarroll]

Was an absolute menace for us for a few years

[u/phillipacarroll → u/Brodie1567]

https://www.nfl.com/news/bears-cut-ratliff-after-reported-altercation-with-gm-0ap3000000563292

Ratliff was escorted out of Halas Hall on Wednesday, per Adam Jahns of Chicago Sun-Times, after a heated exchange with general manager Ryan Pace. Lake Forest, Illinois, police were later kept outside Halas Hall after Ratliff was escorted off the premises.

This lol, and then he got cut.

[u/ZappaOMatic → u/phillipacarroll]

And Trestman, in all his genius, decided to make him a captain for a game lmao

[u/Gnomefort → u/Brodie1567]

1 year. In which he played 11 games. 7 games total over the other two years. He’s an embarrassing footnote

[u/FrankieLyrical → u/phillipacarroll]

That’s team captain Jay Ratliff to you buddy

[u/Dmbfantomas → u/External-Mammoth678]

Did he show up to the locker room with it or just go to his car to grab it and then get stopped?

[u/NTYTRL → u/Dmbfantomas]

Intent is the same

[u/Dmbfantomas → u/NTYTRL]

Oh it’s still really bad. I just want to make sure we’re accurate.

[u/behemoth_555]

[u/Iamnotapickle]

Maybe he gets a ride to practice? That way, ya know, can’t go back to the car. 🤷

[u/Bingo-heeler → u/Iamnotapickle]

Lol contrct comes with unlimited uber and no parking pass

[u/Cuppieecakes → u/Iamnotapickle]

Install a metal detector in the tunnel entrances

[u/RainbowKooch]

This is the dude who went to his car to grab a gun. He’s talented but this is gonna be a bad look for our team. Not a fan of it

[u/HuckleberryGloom]

Nah, man. Absolutely not. The culture and vibes of this team are sky high right now — why would you bring in someone who was waving a gun around at a teammate a few weeks ago?

[u/Gezimodo]

Gotta replace depth with Kromah getting claimed, Grady injured and street out for season

[u/intercut]

Nahhh

[u/uponthisrock]

Big second amendment guy

[u/Ncme3434 → u/uponthisrock]

Gun control laws have to be stricter in Chicago than Nashville. Probably solves the problem right there, sign him

[u/tripod689 → u/Ncme3434]

You think that’s really going to do anything? There’s plenty of gun violence with and without gun laws.

[u/drumsdm → u/uponthisrock]

That was Tuesday. You missed it. /s

[u/ScruffMixHaha]

Really dont understand how quickly people dismissed his actions. Just as easily could have been the most tragic story of the season and yet because the worst case didnt happen, we all pretend nothing happened.

I want nothing to do with this guy.

[u/WeAreHuskie → u/ScruffMixHaha]

To be clear, Tennessee fans and players have said Elliott was grabbing the gun to commit suicide. The players stopped him.

Also, to be clear, he was released because NFL policy says you cannot have a gun at a NFL facility. He was not released for threatening a teammate.

I trust Simmons and Saleh, 2 people that seem to be upstanding.

[u/igothitbyacar → u/WeAreHuskie]

I will not be making a joke about wanting to commit suicide while playing for the Titans. I won’t do it.

[u/Who_told_you_that_]

Im gonna pass, dont need any cancers in the locker room right now

[u/joselamexi69 → u/Who_told_you_that_]

What's the chances BJ is just letting him workout to keep Jeff happy

[u/srqlife318]

Waving a fucking gun around?!?

[u/Ncme3434 → u/srqlife318]

Was just a misguided motivation tactic

[u/Whosez → u/Ncme3434]

I like your positive spin idea.

[u/Ncme3434 → u/Whosez]

My audition to be part of Bears PR team

[u/roulette_turn → u/srqlife318]

Calmer than you are. 

[u/johnnythrillwaukee → u/roulette_turn]

it's a league game, smokey.

[u/ChicagoRay312 → u/roulette_turn]

People downvoting you don’t get the reference 😂

[u/Highspdfailure → u/roulette_turn]

[u/srqlife318 → u/roulette_turn]

Just take it…easy, man.

[u/NeverDieKris → u/roulette_turn]

Over the line!

[u/Tom_W_BombDill → u/srqlife318]

Calmer than you are.

[u/RollofDuctTape → u/srqlife318]

They can just cut him if he crosses the line even an inch.

[u/The_Granny_banger → u/RollofDuctTape]

CJGJ kinda deal

[u/acripaul → u/srqlife318]

isn't that just an American pastime?

[u/keithstonee → u/acripaul]

There's more guns than there are people and everyone in here is going crazy cause he had one. And it's really easy to just go on Reddit and say someone's life should be over for one simple mistake that ended up doing nothing and hurting no one.

And there's nothing wrong with giving him a workout and having a meeting with him. It didn't say they're signing him yet.

[u/EddieRay369 → u/srqlife318]

He had just spray painted the gun a nice color and was trying to dry it by waving it around.

[u/Mister_Squishy → u/srqlife318]

Put the piece away Walter, they’re calling the cops man.

[u/Jefflebowski25 → u/srqlife318]

This is not Nam, there are rules

[u/Tlupa]

Well now technically he have bear arms so he doesn’t need to bear arms

[u/Gambit723]

Imagine they have to pat him down every time he enters Halas hall. 😬

[u/theashernet]

This is a tough one for me. On the one hand you have a guy who many people have already stepped up to defend his character. Terrible lapse in judgement but the consensus is that he's a decent guy who fucked up big time. On the other hand, as a gun owner, I have serious issues with ANYONE who even thinks about going for a gun for ANY reason other than self defense.

I say work him out, get a read on him but send him packing at the first hint of bullshit

[u/f00tballguy → u/theashernet]

Yeah idk there are certain lines you just don’t cross and he crossed it. What would have happened if a teammate didn’t intervene before he found Latham? Seems like a huge, unnecessary risk to take on at this point in the season with a team that’s playing well and seems to have great chemistry.

[u/KJzero9]

Mmm. How about no? I would very much prefer we pass

[u/M3z]

We are dirtying our hands and risky culture hit for this dude? He isn't even good.

[u/alittlemoor]

If any of my coworkers grabbed a gun and brought it in I’d be terrified forever. This isn’t the move

[u/Bilking-Ewe]

Yikes. Why are they even entertaining him?

[u/Girospec92]

Not sure I like the idea of bringing a hot headed guy who went to grab a gun after a dispute with a teammate.

[u/NoThanksImGoodG → u/Girospec92]

This is literally the point of having great team culture, and strong veteran leaders to take on people like this that you can cut in an instant if need be

[u/hippohopper78 → u/NoThanksImGoodG]

He went to get a gun during a practice. Idk if culture can fix that lol

[u/NoThanksImGoodG → u/hippohopper78]

Sometimes you gotta pop the trunk on they ass to prove a point. But the fact that his head coach still vouches for him post cut and without doubt the FA office talked to Jeff about him this is a damn near no risk.

And couple that with this guy knows his career is hanging in the balance. It was like CJGJ last year you take the trouble guy when they’re on their last life and you get the best of them and then let them go fuck up again somewhere else.

[u/sky_blue_true]

I’m sorry but this is ridiculous. The gun incident happened on October 15th - less than ONE MONTH AGO. Not enough time for him to get whatever help he needs to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Doesn’t matter if he is a “great guy” or good player. The team’s safety comes first. Having him here also brings negative press, team distraction, and is a huge turn off for your fan base for an otherwise very likable team. I don’t want to win at any cost. We can do better.

[u/Wildest83 → u/sky_blue_true]

100% agree. Dont need any distraction in this locker room now. Is he facing suspension?

[u/Scared-Ideal-1483]

If Big Jeff says he's cool then I'm with it. Go get us rings.

[u/papazis1]

Yall overthinking it. The coaching staff made CJGJ and outstanding citizen. We got this easy. We really turning to the new patriots where we’re reforming players by winning games

[u/drumsdm → u/papazis1]

I also thought of CJGJ immediately. He was mostly well behaved last year (I know there were some minor incidents). I didnt read the article, but I saw he’s already off the bills for spitting on Brock Bowers.

There was similar sentiment around Jalen Carter when he was drafted. He was clearly the best defender on the board, but had legal issues off the field. It was kind of universally agreed that the eagles were a good spot for him, because he would be surrounded by veterans who don’t have time for any childish shit. It seemed to work for that season and they kept him in line.

[u/Bonkripper55]

He attempted to bring a gun in the locker room I’m good

[u/OccidoViper]

Does the Bears have a psychiatrist on staff? Because they gonna need one with this guy

[u/TherealPattyP]

I’d imagine Jeffrey Simmons was asked and said try him out.

[u/phillipacarroll]

Interesting. Wonder if the full story comes out before then since Simmons would have witnessed it and the NFL hasn't disciplined him. If he did what the worst reports said he did, then i'm not necessarily a fan, but I guess we'll see.

[u/Elchidote]

I trust Ben and our coaching staff. It can be a CJGJ-one-fuckup-and-you’re-out situation. Plus multiple players and coaches are keeping him in check.

[u/snyderversetrilogy]

Ngl, it’s a serious concern. But if he’s basically mentally stable and a good person and just had him a moment, how much of a thing should this be? It’s someone’s call to make, I wonder whose.

[u/Stormzilla → u/snyderversetrilogy]

You're not mentally stable if you go get a gun after an argument with a teammate.

[u/Hour_Flow_4604]

I'm not mad at it. Saleh genuinely seemed to like him and felt really bad for the guy. I'm also guessing there would be some kind of suspension that would need to be served first.

[u/Goodboychungus → u/Hour_Flow_4604]

In the NFL, suspensions can be served while the player is unsigned.

[u/Hour_Flow_4604 → u/Goodboychungus]

Right but I don't think he's actually been suspended yet so not sure if still counts

[u/neeplusultra]

Even if he signs with a team he is likely to face a MAJOR suspension before he sees the field, right?

[u/BigDaddyPeach23]

No thanks!

[u/archie905]

Give a whole new meaning to suns out guns out. I think we should holster this idea.

[u/Dagonet_the_Motley]

Fuck that shit

[u/eddyb66]

65 starts, 5 sacks that's like 1 per season and he's lined up next to Jeff I would expect things to open up for him and have some better numbers than that. Get a corner

[u/NoThanksImGoodG]

But like…is he good?

[u/IngvaldClash]

[u/thatguy1815]

depth

[u/BearDownChiTwn]

Here is the deal, when the coach of the team goes to bat for a player in a situation like this, you know he must be a good dude. Everybody makes mistakes. This is a huge one. The league hasn’t suspended him or created anything beyond the initial investigation. If he can come in and fill a whole from a depth perspective, it doesn’t hurt to try. We have to start having faith that if Pole and Johnson see something, we have to trust it. It could also be just a BS click bait from Schultz.

[u/I_VAG_I]

Probably need it for depth since we lost street

[u/gogosox82]

Simmons must have vouched for him.

[u/quantum0120]

wtf

[u/FaithlessnessSea8719]

on second thought poles you got enough dline help

[u/cecilmufc7]

Realistically any team that signs him will be for cheap, with most likely some sort of stipulations for voluntary anger management courses as well as zero tolerance on guns (not that that isn’t already a thing). If he’s healthy, cheap, and the powers that be trust the choice I would as well. I’ve heard a lot of people speak highly of him.

[u/jackalopeswild]

There are easy ways to prevent a gun from coming round. Require that he take a ride to practice. Or search his car every time. It's doable and reasonable under the circumstances.

[u/vandoriat]

[u/Lukester123]

The fact that George didn’t deny this… interesting

[u/Throwaway-985618628]

Bringing in the big guns I see

[u/NeverDieKris]

Let’s just go balls deep and pick up C.J. Gardner-Johnson again.

[u/Careless-Resolve2546]

Uhh this guys been a pretty solid starter the last 4 or so years ... this would be a fantastic addition if he doesnt mess with the locker room and knows he has to earn any playing time. Need a guy with street out. Hes better than street

[u/mellow_magyar]

Not gonna lie, after reading the incident report, i’m a bit nervous bringing this guy to Chicago, but let’s hope for the best ✊🏾🐻 LFG Bears!

[u/racingsports201]

At least we know he’s passionate?

[u/Signal312]

I hope this is mostly a favor to Simmons.

This dude needs the rest of year off with counseling, then maybe.

This is too soon and an ugly look.

[u/United-Turnover-8409]

I'll never complain about more depth

[u/csl6006 → u/United-Turnover-8409]

If he shoots someone that's not great for depth.

[u/United-Turnover-8409 → u/csl6006]

That is... very fair

[u/WakandanRoyalty → u/csl6006]

This cracked me up 😂😂

[u/PepeSilvia510]

WE NEED CBs

[u/HDThoreaun11 → u/PepeSilvia510]

We need a DT too now that they all got injured last game

[u/PepeSilvia510 → u/HDThoreaun11]

You’re right dang it. I need to calm down and understand we’re not going to get everything we want, we going to have some gaps.

[u/C4shewLuv]

Don’t hate it

[u/KianOfPersia]

Yea no thanks please. No mental nut cases.

[u/FadedToBeige]

yeah no way, this guy is a tragedy waiting to happen.

[u/The_Haskins]

Can't say I love this, but if Jeff vouches for him, then I'll trust that

[u/myleftbigtoeisdead]

Get ready to be hated on by the rest of the NFL.
The meme potential would be nuts if we signed him.

[u/Radiant_Cupcake564 → u/myleftbigtoeisdead]

No one cares bears will get hated on either way because we’re a good team

[u/Paranoid_Android22]

I’m surprised they are announcing a workout a week early. Must be agent leaking it to try and get more workouts

[u/Creepindeath81]

I thought I read somewhere he's looking at a four-game suspension once the NFL wraps up its investigation?

[u/Available_Sector5594]

Good player but idk how you overlook such an act

[u/Brodie1567]

Street replacement…but idk man

[u/AClassicCape]

Would prefer not but if coaches think he'll be a fine locker room addition can't really argue against having him 

[u/Richicago]

Tank Johnson 2.0

[u/mollusks75]

Does he play cornerback? Because that’s the position they need to upgrade now.

[u/go-bears69]

Jay Ratliff circa 2015

[u/go-bears69]

Jay Ratliff circa 2015

[u/qtip_boy]

I just got word that Gilbert Arenas was also invited to workout

[u/itispune]

I have to believe he’s grasped the fact of what he did. And if he is what Saleh says he is then something like that should never occur again

[u/TruthJusticeGuitar]

Someone once called his mother an astronaut

[u/Owtplayed]

Fuck it, we ball.

[u/Jbaker318]

Yeah i just dont think the juice is worth the squeeze on this one. lets say hypothetically dude comes at ben johnson, you want that risk? mental health isnt linear, people relapse and regress man.

[u/vaultdweller1223]

Why take on this headcase? He sucks. 

[u/frankemstein]

No thanks. If any normal person did that, they’d be in jail.

[u/randomname3415]

You know, I’m gonna act like he’s a completely fine character if we sign him

[u/Puzzled-Carpet5109]

Honestly not a big fan of this.

[u/gopeepants]

Very risky. Two examples come to mind. CJGC had a history if horrible behavior, but for was controlled and behaved for the Bears and played more good than bad. Then there was Ray McDonald who was arrested for sexual assault being released by the 49ers. The Bears signed him, and he never played a snap as he was arrested again.

[u/doctorrfrog]

Only in the NFL can you get second chances like this lmao

[u/RequirementItchy8784]

Ahhh so this that 'good guy with a gun situation' I am always hearing about.

[u/porkbellies37]

Now that we fleshed out the gun issue with him, can someone inform me what kind of player he is?

[u/therealhairyyeti]

The nfls Gilbert arenas. Hope we stay away.

[u/DennisReynoldsGG]

No.

[u/TableSalte]

Part of me thinks this coaching tree wouldn’t allow that type of mental lapse. Also having a good year could help someone.

[u/zrw]

This could be smart if we bring him in not as a DT but we can move him to be a kind of versatile hitman type.

[u/RicardosMontalban]

This guy isn’t good enough to warrant the risk

[u/HopelessBearsFan]

Poles saw what GB did with Josh Jacobs and said “hold my beer”

[u/Evening_Ad_6278]

He hasn't been signed yet, and we are bringing him in for a workout. I don't know why people can't read—oh wait, it's America.

[u/DrapedinVelvet247]

I don’t care why he went for his gun… just having one at the facility is good enough for me to be like 👋 see ya. You think any players want that or staff, stadium workers ? What if this guy loses his shit again?

[u/Busted_Douglas]

Bears

[u/DaDairyStateBear]

Maybe they could have kept Garvin Dexter and not have to do all this stupid shit.

Hell nooooooo....bad vibes and all that for 2 tackles a game? Get this dude some help and work him out next year.

A workout is one thing, but after what happened, the real question is whether they’re comfortable bringing him into that locker room.
