Bears release RB Chester Taylor

[Coachnorm]

iBears released RB Chester Taylor. Taylor is 31, averaged 2.4 yards per carry last season and the Bears added Marion Barber as their power back.

Barber is a sneaky pick at RB as a bye week fill-in that could get some goal-line action in Taylor's place this year.

Lions are gonna make a run at him...just the kind of power back they have been looking for

The Bears have asked Chester Taylor to return to their facility Monday after deciding to release him earlier in the day.
According to ESPN Chicago, the Bears' coaching staff wants to keep Taylor, while the front office is pulling for his release. It's not surprising that the veteran would be a coaching staff favorite for his ability to pick up the blitz, but Taylor offers nothing as a ball carrier going on age 32. The Bears are better off with Marion Barber behind Matt Forte. We'll update the outcome of this afternoon's meeting with Taylor once details are available.
