“What about that once (if you’re lucky) in a generation aberration that could happen if you cut him?” That’s your reason for retaining him? Again, he’s not even a young player. He’s 28. Nearing ancient by NFL standards.
My reason for retaining him is that the Bears are really shitty in the talent department, and cutting a guy that could help for a misdemeanor seems like a bad move to me.
Is Pringle great? Probably not. But one thing I noticed when watching Chiefs football this past year, I found myself saying "God damn, this team has a shitload of wideouts." and Pringle was one of the dudes I noticed getting the ball.
He may suck. No doubt. But he might be really good. Fair?
