I think you have to have Tillman and Vasher on the list because it is
so difficult finding consistently solid corners. Having one or both of
them banged up the past few games emphasizes their importance. Still
with them, only 4 of our players on D are "untouchable."

*Someone* is going to offer him more than the Bears are willing to
pay. Despite his injury history his talent is too difficult to ignore.
While the Bears would be best to move on without him he will find
someone willing to take a chance on him (that is, if he still wants to
play football).

I would say Kreutz if it were 2002, not 2007. He's simply on the
backside of his peak. Otherwise, I would add Berrian to the list. I
think his drops are more of an anomaly, perhaps getting used to having
Griese at QB. Plus he's still relatively young. Greg Olsen could also
be a keeper but it's still too early for him.

How about special teamers??  I'd clearly hang onto Pat Mannelly,
Ayanbedejo, Maynard and Gould.

So I have 8 total on my list, 9 if you could Briggs, out of
53........that ain't good.
