One of my favorite parts of the football calendar year is officially under way.
That stretch on the calendar between the start of May and some point in July when NFL rosters are fluid and the churn never seems to stop is oddly fascinating to me. Introducing new names into my lexicon keeps me on my toes. And when I get to share and discuss those names when they join the Bears, it gives us an opportunity to get a leg up on potential training camp sleepers.
With that being said, we’ve got some newbies on the roster. Chicago’s football team made it official with a handful of signings after their rookie minicamp weekend camp to a close:
Maybe someone from this group will make a splash at upcoming offseason training activities. Perhaps someone makes it to training camp and shows out at Halas Hall this summer. But before we get to that point, just know that someone from this group could return to the waiver wire. Heck, the Bears cut three UDFA signings from last week to make room for the new guys. So my apologies if you got too attached to OL Nick Amoah, S Justin Broiles, or TE Damien Caffrey. That is the nature of the beast in the NFL. And especially at a time of year when teams burn through the bottom halves of rosters like it’s nobody’s business.
