Chris Harris

Bears SS Chris Harris will formally request a trade Monday.

Coach Lovie Smith claimed Harris was inactive last night because he doesn't play special teams, but no one is buying that. Harris was humiliated by the Lions in Week 5 and has lost his job to Chris Conte. Although the Bears won't receive anything of value on the trade market for Harris, they may be inclined to simply rid themselves of a potential distraction. He's a free agent at the end of this season anyway.

We could probably get him back for close to nothing. He would add some vet leadership to the team, especially to a secondary that does not seem to have very good leaders. We could keep him as a third safety. Plus it seems like guys are getting hurt every week back there.

I'm going to assume he wants to be traded to start somewhere. Which I don't think he would here.
PT > being inactive.

not sure he's going to expecting to start. just getting no the field would be better than not getting a jersey.

after what we saw from backups @ safety i'm sure he wouldn't be worse.

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
