glen25+FollowBears make bold WR cut after preseason flopThe Bears wasted no time shaking up their wide receiver room, cutting John Jackson just days after a rough preseason debut. Jackson’s early exit sends a clear message: performance matters, especially when roster spots are tight. With only a handful of WR spots left, competition is fierce—Rome Odunze, D.J. Moore, Olamide Zaccheaus, and Luther Burden look safe, but everyone else is fighting for their NFL future. What do you think—should teams make these calls this early, or give players more time to prove themselves? #Sports #Football #Bears245Share
