The Chicago Bears cut off a pair of remarkable veterans in cost savings – ESPN SIOUX FALLS

The Chicago bears are again in the midst of the extra -season transition.

Last year, the bears reunited with their main coach and general manager and at that time were preparing to spend # 1 for the total choice of defender Kaleb Williams.

This year, Williams is coming out of a solid campaign for a rookie, but the team has released coach Matus Eberflus and began the displacement of the list outside the season under the new chief coach Ben Johnson.
