For the second straight day the Bears released a member of the team that had been with the organization for five years. On Tuesday R.W. McQuarters was released. R.W. McQuarters? $3.05 million base salary was the biggest reason for the move. He projected as the fourth cornerback at a position with depth and would have also returned punts. Although the Bears would have preferred to get something for McQuarters, the market for a player that had been rumored to be on the block was minimal. ?After exploring trade opportunities with R.W., we felt it was in everyone?s best interest to release him at this time, General Manager Jerry Angelo said.
