who would trade for him now?
the bears tipped their hands by not playing him in the last preseason game, and then dropped their hand all over the floor when the release-then-unreleased him. nobody is that desperate for a RB that they can’t wait. best explanation I’ve heard was on 670, where they speculated that they are trying to make sure he doesn’t go to the Lions.

I'd love it if he took his 2.4 yards to Detroit
but he’d probably play angry and do decent against us

It wasn't a trade
Jerry Angelo just screwed up again by telling Lovie Chester was gone and then backtracking (like what he did with the Ravens) hours later.
If the Raven Debacle made him look bad aside from thee other 2 signings from last year
n bad picks plus this no
I am not a big Angelo fan at all, but why does everyone assume this was only his fault?
Isn’t it possible that the management team discussed their plans and Lovie jumped the gun? It’s not like Lovie has been the epitomy of good communication in his time with the Bears.
None of us really know what happened exactly but there is more than one person involved in these decisions at Halas Hall. I think both of these Bozo’s make the franchise an embarassment.
Kind of figured that since Marion Barber is out for an unknown time with a calf injury
Once Barber is good to go, then Taylor is good as gone.
Jay Cutler is our QB, and I for one am proud of that

guard is actually perfect for him
if he’s pass protecting then he doesn’t need to move more than 2.4 yards

Security guard maybe
I can see him chasing down drunken fans, only to fall over 2.4 yards from where he started running.

Actually
Now that I think about, moving him to LT or RT makes perfect sense seeing as no force on Earth can seem to move him more than a yard forward or backwards from the line of scrimmage. He’d be a WALL for us!
The series of tweets from his agent:

Lovie Smith told Chester Taylor this morning that he Is being released. Chester thanks the Bears and their fans and wishes them well.

Here’s a first for me – the Bears just called me and said they have NOT released Chester. He did talk with Lovie though…misunderstanding?

I heard they were attempting to trade him to the Lions for some NFL credibility but the deal fell through

Lovie was just trying to be honest w/CT, IMO. The front office was then like, “Uh, naw mayne. Let’s get something 4 him.”
skjensen Sean Jensen
My belief is this: Chester wanted clarity, after DNP Saturday. Lovie gave it to him but front office still trying to salvage pick before Sat
According to Harry on ESPN1000 Taylor didnt play because Angelo was close to a couple of deals on Taylor for low round draft picks. Thats why Taylor DNP on Sat. Those deals fell through. Taylor approached Lovie about his status on team. Lovie told him the truth Barber is #2 RB and he would be released. Front office then wanted to know why Taylor was not at Halas Hall this morning and the agent replied “um cause you guys cut him?” and Tim Ruskell said “um Taylor is dumb and misunderstood” (Harrys words). Bears trying to work a trade for Taylor. Seems to be a disconnect with Angelo, Ruskell, and Lovie. Afternoon Saloon seem to hint at a power struggle between Angelo and Lovie.

Jerry Angelo gave Chester Taylor the rest of the day to cool off. Expected to practice Tuesday. Think he plays Thurs? Guess here is no.

Angelo
has been slowly ruining his reputation around the league the last couple years. First Gabriel tells the story of how we jerked James Starks around (then blew the pick on the QB who went to Cinci), then we jerk Baltimore around on the first round trade, and now he’s jerking Chester Taylor around over a 6th round pick.
I don’t mind Lovie. I think he is a solid coach—not great, but solid. But I think Angelo is an awful GM and is quickly becoming an embarrassment for the franchise. He seems to be completely disorganzed and communicating poorly.
I can’t wait until someone at Halas Hall gets the stones to can his ass so we can have a real GM around here.

Angelo as a GM when it comes to finding defensive talent in FA and the Draft
I’d give him a B+…but when it comes to Offense and Public Relations…closer to a C- maybe lower…if Cliff Stein wasn’t such a good contract negotiator it might be lower
WCG's Resident Nickelback and Boy Band fan
Also rated Worst WCG Blogger by Dr. Steven Schweickert's extensive "Total BR" (Blogger Rating)
A B+ is
generous when he hasn’t hit on a LB since Briggs, a safety ever, a CB since Tillman (or Vasher I guess), and any impact DEs despite investing heavily in those positions in the draft.
DEJESUS!!!
Well...they did sign Roach after he got cut
I’d call hitting on Chris Harris and Manning pretty decent, and Anderson was impact for a season lol

That and drafting
safety’s and DEs every year and not hitting on any of them (well with the exception of CHarris)…..Course he did draft Steltz…..

I think
you lose credit for a draft pick when you trade them away, then have to trade back for them…It means you misevaluated them at least once, minimum.

would be pretty welcome on this season’s squad i bet. they are one starting lb injury away from a real problem.
well nick roach isn’t a superstar but he can get it done. 52 is alright but overall this is quite the departure from the last few seasons w/the lb corps.

That’s got to be a first…tell the guy you’re cutting him and then change your mind. Really disrespectful to a guy who’s been a solid pro. That said, Barber makes him expendable anyway, but I think he can help another team, good veteran leadership.
Lovie wanted him to know that he wasn't in the Bears plans
but Angelo wanted to wait and try and work out a trade for his services

Maybe the answer
is to stop listening to Martz on personnel matters. Between Lefevour, Todd Collins, Manu, Chester Taylor and now Roy Williams, Martz has proven himself to be completely incapable of evaluating personnel matters.
Unforunately, looking over his shoulder are Lovie and Angelo, neither of whom knows anything about offensive talent either. It’s the blind leading the blind.
DEJESUS!!!
From my understanding
Lefevour was an Angelo pick not martz pick…..

Lovie Smith: “I guess there was a misunderstanding on exactly what we talked about. Chester Taylor is still a part of the team….”
skjensen
Smith said he explained to Taylor why he didn’t play Sat: “Evidently he took that the wrong way. Hopefully we get him out here tomorrow”
Seems to me Lovie is trying to save Angelo’s ass on this one. He’s the coach and had every right to cut a crappy performer but apparently Angelo didn’t tell anyone he was trying to gangster a pick for the guy. Angelo can’t even communicate with his coaching staff properly. That’s just sad!
Speaking of running backs that may or may not be on the team anymore
Does anybody know what Harvey Unga’s deal is? It seems like he’s only been in camp for 4 days.

That's what I heard too
Strange that we haven’t heard more about it though. I’m assuming that he’ll get cut unless there’s some sort of bereavement list like baseball.
He has no chance to make the team

missed 2 pre-season games and he's not a veteran, needs the game time to prove he can make it.
Plus Barber’s taken whatever role he conceivably could have had. Possibly PS if Jerry doesn’t want to give up on a draft pick.
that's what it seems like to me too
it would really, really suck if barber can’t go anytime soon as i have really enjoyed his kick-yo-ass running style in his brief stint with the bears (along with most of his career w/the cowboys too of course).

Guessing it might be a trade attempt
Some interest down here in Arizona for him as a 3rd down guy after the Ryan Williams injury. I’m sure some other teams needing a 3rd down guy have some interest too.
