This is my 53-man roster prediction for our Chicago Bears. Some tough calls along the way here.

What I think the 53-man roster will look like:

QB (3) Cutler, Hanie, Enderle

RB (3) Forte, Barber, Unga. Notable cut: Chester Taylor.  Barber makes him expendable

WR (6) Bennett, Knox, Hester, R. Williams, Hurd, Sanzenbacher

TE (3) Davis, Spaeth, Clark.  One or two of these guys may be playing FB or lead blocker as well.

OL (9)  Webb, C. Williams, Garza, Louis, Carimi, Omiyale, Edwin Williams, Spencer, Linnenkohl.  Linnenkohl makes it as the center of the future.  Don't think he would get through waivers or another team may claim him.

24 on offense

DL (9) Peppers, Idonije, Paea, Adams, Wootton, Melton, Gholston, Okoye, Toeaina.  Vernon Gholston as the 3rd down pass rusher.

LB (5) Urlacher, Briggs, Roach, Iwuh, Thomas.  If a vet LB is signed (such as Tatupu or Tinoisamoa, DB is the spot that will have one less)

DB (10) Tillman, Bowman, Jennings, D. Moore, J. Moore, Graham, Wright, Harris, Steltz, Conte

ST (3) Gould, Podlesh, Mannelly
