Report: Chicago Bears to release former Georgia LB

There may not be any sports being played, but NFL free agency has provided some excitement during these difficult times.

Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting that the Chicago Bears are releasing former Georgia linebacker Leonard Floyd.

Floyd, who played for Georgia from 2013-15, was the No. 9 overall pick by the Bears in the 2016 NFL Draft.

The tall and lanky 27 year old out of Eastman, Georgia has played for the Bears for all four years of his professional career.

During that time, he made the PFWA All-Rookie Team in 2016, he’s racked up 153 total tackles and has recorded 18.
