@RichCampbell Bears released veteran OG Matt Slauson, team announced. The 30-year-old was the glue of the O-line, and maybe biggest leader on the team.
Like Ryan O said we should kick tires on him.
Mods forgot to put name in title lol, please fix
I'd be so down to sign Slauson. Bears fans seem upset/confused as to why he was released.

Yup thats what i read as well. Was a strong leader.

I'm thinking the release was sort of a respect thing with Slauson. Letting him go now to head to a more competitive team, while the Bears rebuild. Know what I mean?

Yup, i think he would be a instant starter on this team at Beadles old position.

Yeah he would compete with Bernadeau. I'm thinking he goes somewhere else like Pitt, NE, or Denver.
Per rotoworld: Slauson was owed just under $3 million this season. The move is surprising after Slauson finished No. 18 in Pro Football Focus' 2015 guard ratings, with a top-ten rank in pass protection. He allowed one sack in 16 starts, and just turned 30 in February. While the Bears are moving on with second-round pick Cody Whitehair at left guard, a good guard just hit the free agent market.
He can play center too. Would be a great signing.
Health concerns apparently.

What health concerns? Dude played every game last season. I would kick the tires on Slauson.
Bring him in. Competition.

Sources say that's why he was cut. Must be pretty bad to cut a top 10 G/C.
I want him though,do your thing Dave.
Bring him in absolutely. Pay him 4 mil a year, it doesn't matter. We passed on interior oline help in the draft because of value on D, but this here is a quality player that can be had for a negligible amount of money.

Agreed.
If Ryan O' likes him, Caldwell will hear about it in the next presser. The Josh Norman questions boredered on obsession.

He was most likely cut because they're going with a youth movement.
Go get him!
I advocate going after him more strongly than Josh Norman.
