The Chicago Bears have announced the release of three players - DT Tommie Harris, LB Hunter Hillenmeyer, and OT Kevin Shaffer.  GM Jerry Angelo said last week the team would start making roster decisions this week, and this is the first.

Recently, we pondered what the team would choose to do with Harris, considering his performance over the last three seasons, and they have decided his late-season surge was not good enough.  This decision will undoubtedly have the team looking even harder at potentially drafting a defensive tackle in the first round of this year's Draft.
