Bears release former first-rounder Chris Williams | ProFootballTalk

The Bears released their former first round pick at left tackle Chris Williams...

Per some scouting I've read, he may have been 'miscast' and is better suited as a right tackle - you think he could offer something at right tackle better than what we have?!?

Your point is valid, but the question between the lines is would he make a better right tackle for the Saints?

In addition, factor in the Saints penchant for developing offensive lineman as of late, is he a valid reclamation project?!?

Strief has played admirably, but he's more of a great utility lineman; and Charles Brown has been "other bust from USC"...

What could it hurt to take a look?

The question would be better suited saying "who could it hurt to take a look" and the answer to that question is drew brees lol

Williams is a Louisiana son, but he has been plagued with injuries. Maybe getting back to a warmer climate will work for him. I would look.

I'm a big fan of athletes going home to rejuvinate an ailing career, home-cooking does the body & soul good. I believe he played more games for the Bears at LG/RT then he did at LT which indicates to me he could add some depth and maybe develop into a starter.

At first look, I don't really know what his injury issues are, but he showed somebody something once enough to be a first round pick. Put him in there with the Saints current O/Line to bring him along & you wind up with a diamond-in-the-rough, IMO ... but do you really need help on the O/L or are there more pressing needs?

Mickey Loomis would know what to do ... @#$& Goodell!

Guess it wouldn't hurt to take a look at his guy, but I am seriously not sure he is worth bringing along. I guess he could compete for a utility role with the Saints, maybe???

After watching Cutler get pounded harder than Jenna Jameson I am quite sceptical about bringing anybody in from the Bears O-line. But give the guy a workout and see what he can do.
