After a promising draft this weekend, the Bears opened up some spots in the starting lineup for their new players by releasing guard Matt Slauson and safety Antrel Rolle, both of whom started in week one last season.
The Bears now have potential replacements for both players on the roster after drafting guard Cody Whitehair in round two, safeties Deon Bush and Deiondre Hall in round four, and safety DeAndre Houston-Carson in round 6. The Bears also added free agent guards Manny Ramirez and Ted Larson in the off-season and have young safety Harold Jones-Quartey already on the roster.
