gilthorp Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Today, the Bears cut David Terrell, saving approximately 200K of Cap space as he was going to enter the final year of his contract. What we had here was a player who not only didn't perform up to expectations coming out of college, he was actually very dysfunctional on the field taking stupid penalties and acting like a complete idiots whenever he made average plays. Couple that with the fact that he was in trouble with the law due to driving tickets, it was time for him to go. Goodbye! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 $200,000 in savings? I would've kept him, and forced the puke to play on special teams as the wedge buster as punishment for sucking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've kept him, and forced the puke to play on special teams as the wedge buster as punishment for sucking. 714790[/snapback] No way. He was a cancer. Wade has proved he's a good slot player, Berrian will stretch the field, Muhammad will make some tough catches, as long as we can stomach his drops. The key is who they get in the draft. Even if they wait until the second round, they'll get a good player. They don't have a third rounder as they lost that one in the Booker deal with Miami. Knowing how cheap they are, they will deal the 1.04 for a late first and third round pick. If they do that, I'd love to see them grab either J.R. Russel or Chris Henry in the second round.

CaptainHook Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 (edited) I think they would have been better off just keeping Marty Booker and the third round pick. Now, they had to spend money on an older WR. Muhammad will be 32. Booker would have been 29. The Bears also picked up Ogunleye in that trade, who they also had to sign to a big deal. What do you think gil? Edited February 28, 2005 by CaptainHook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknrobn26 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 No surprise. Good deal for the 'O'. Egos and generally bad play, not coming back to the quarterback, just drag confidence down. I frankly didn't like him when they got him. Good ridance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think gil? 714824[/snapback] I wasn't overly impressed with Ogun, so hindsight being 20-20, I agree. Didn't really like the deal when they made it, don't really like it now--but if their two young DT's grow and improve by leaps and bounds this year, Ogunleye will be a nice compliment to Brown. Remember, they just extended Alex to a big deal as well. I guess I'll have to see who Miami picks up in the third round this year to really sort out my feelings on it all.

Swampnuts Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 So now that David Terrell and Freddie Mitchell are out there, who gets the BIG money first??? There's got to be teams lined up to sign these two superstars... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Irish Doggy Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Muhammad will make some tough catches714812[/snapback] Now that he's been paid, I wouldn't bet on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted February 28, 2005 Author Share Posted February 28, 2005 Now that he's been paid, I wouldn't bet on it. 715016[/snapback] I personally don't think he's worth all the coin they threw at him, but it's a massive upgrade over what was here last year. He will make some tough catches in traffic for the Bears--that I have no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolverines Fan Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Agreed. And the fact that Terrell and his dropped balls and offensive penalties are gone will help their offense even more. 715168[/snapback] I really thought he would be a good player, but I was wrong. Yup, good riddance. I know I sound like the voice of gloom and doom here, but with the Bears luck, Muhammad will play three games, blow out an Achilles' or a knee, and miss the entire season. He's 32...it could happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Score 1 Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I admit to being somebody who at one time thought David Terrell could become a good to great WR for the Bears. Not after this season just past though. He had the chance this year and even showed a flash or two. But for every positive thing he did, he'd follow it up by doing something stupid. More often than not, he only made sure he wipped out any good coming from his receptions, by getting one bonehead penalty after another. He'll latch on somewhere I'm sure, but I don't think he'll ever be good, let alone one of the greats. Sad to say, but good move by Da Bears.

Duchess Jack Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 (edited) Vincent Price in his current VERY dead state could have played QB better than the clowns they had in there(exluding Grossman). While you can judge Terrell based on many things, basing it off last years performance is unfair Edited March 1, 2005 by Duchess Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursa Majoris Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Glad he's gone. I still hope they'll use that 1.04 on Edwards, but I think they'll deal it. Cheap bastages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Rock Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I wouldn't have cut him. If all you get was $200,000, that's not that big of a deal. His off-field transgressions aside, this guy was the team's leading reciever last year with some of the worst quarterbacking I've ever seen in the NFL. I would have held onto him - with Muhammed taking some of the pressure off and Grossman (hopefully) staying healthy and playing well, he could have been a decent complimentary reciever.

Guest dabears Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I like the deal. Something else had to happen other than everyone becoming healthy. Terrell has used his welcome in Chi-town and was bringing down team spirit as well as not catching a **** thing. I think the focus still needs to shift to the O-line. Can't believe there's a rumor going around about another RB, even if it is Benson. Won't do any good if you can't get the blocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luffy66 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I remember when Terrell was available in the draft, and us Pats fans were up in arms that BB took Richard Seymour with the pick instead. I guess thats why we ain't running the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
