I know all you avid Bears fans know we traded our 2010 second round pick to Tampa Bay for Defensive End Gaines Adams. I have done a little research on our new guy, and he has shown some promise, but also some cause for worry. Adams was picked fourth overall in the 2007 draft, and has shown flashes of brilliance, but seems have lacked in consistency. Sound familiar to my fellow Bear fans? Lets hope Rod can put this kid on the fast track to greatness. With no further ado, I bring to you...Who do Bears fans want to see cut?

Craig Steltz

Craig has made a couple plays, but is not the best tackler. I think the one thing he has shown, is he has decent awareness in coverage. I think Craig could get better, and I do not think this is who we should cut.

Jarron Gilbert

Haven't heard much from our first draft pick this season. I am not sure if that is because the other players we have are just more experienced right now, or if Gilbert isn't all he was cracked up to be. Hope he starts getting in the mix. I think we need to give him a chance to develop.

Juaquin Iglesias

Again, this guy has been quiet. I know they say it takes rookie receivers awhile to get the swing. Johnny Knox is making it look like he should have been the Bears third round receiver pick. Maybe Iglesias is the future, he needs some time.

Devin Aromashodu

DENVER - AUGUST 30:  Cornerback Andre Goodman #21 of the Denver Broncos breaks up a pass intended for wide reciever Devin Aromashodu #19 of the Chicago Bears during preseason NFL action at INVESCO Field at Mile High on August 30, 2009 in Denver, Colorado.

I know he was getting a lot of hype in the preseason, but that was it. I think they should keep Iglesias over this guy, Juaquin is younger, and has more time to develop. Devin is a possibility.

Nathan Vasher

The artist formerly known as "the interceptor".Now, Burn central. He would definitely free up some cap space, and also give D.J. Moore a chance to get in and show what he is made of. I think Vasher's confidence is shaken, and he would benefit from a new start. Also, he is making WAY too much to ride the bench.

Josh Bullocks
