Chicago Bears Sadly Lose Promising Young Player To Jets

Sometimes, when your roster is finally in a place where it has talent depth, the team must start accepting that you can’t keep everybody you like. Good teams always go through that experience this time of year. They know at least one or two guts they have to cut may end up elsewhere. That happened to the Chicago Bears on Wednesday. The news came in that the waiver wire claims had gone through. Every player the team had released made it through except one. Tight end Brenden Bates had been snatched by the New York Jets.
