The Chicago Bears haven’t released their full 53-man roster, but they have decided to keep their third-string quarterback, for now anyway.
Brad Biggs of the Chicago Sun-Times reports that undrafted free agent quarterback Caleb Hanie of Colorado State has made the 53-man roster. Biggs suggests, however, that if Chris Simms doesn’t make the Buccaneers’ 53-man roster, the Bears could add Simms and cut Hanie.
Bears players who have been released include tight end Marcus Stone, cornerback Trey Brown, receiver Brandon Rideau, defensive ends Ervin Baldwin and Joe Clermond, offensive lineman Anthony Oakley, tight end Fontel Mines and linebacker Joey LaRocque.
UPDATE: Biggs now reports that the final roster is known.

I needed a laugh. I may have to resort to wearing a paper bag over my head while I’m watching the game at home. Hopefully this is the season they clean house, but then the McCaskeys will just hire the same executive search firm for the next GM search. And Angelo came from within the division!!! Sad is all I can say.

They better keep him, right now he looks like he will shape out to become the best QB out of the three they currently have.

For some reason the Green Acres theme is going through my head. Please make it stop.
BTW, Arnold Ziffle would do a better job drafting for the Bears.
