On Monday, the Bears publicly wished a happy 28th birthday to Dion Sims after finishing his second season in Chicago. Aw, how wholesome. That’s so kind of them to think of their player. On Wednesday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that they’re expected to release the seventh-year veteran before free agency starts in several weeks.
What a belated birthday present! I’m sure Sims will treasure it forever.
After an unceremonious two seasons in Chicago where Sims caught just 17 passes for 189 yards and one touchdown, the Bears’ move to release him hardly comes as a surprise.
