| (MySportsbook) - The Chicago Bears cut veteran running back Chester Taylor on Saturday, the deadline for NFL teams to trim their rosters to 53 players. The league's final cuts always include a few well-known players, and Taylor, who has played in the league since 2002 and once rushed for more than 1,200 yards, was among the biggest. The Bears also cut veteran tight end Desmond Clark, while the Indianapolis Colts waived 27 players to meet the mandatory roster number, among them former Bears defensive tackl |

| Lake Forest, IL (MySportsbook) - As expected, the Chicago Bears parted ways with running back Chester Taylor on Saturday, releasing the disappointing veteran among several moves that brought the active roster down to the 53-man limit. The Bears signed Taylor to a four-year, $12.5 million contract prior to the 2010 season to split ball-carrying duties with Matt Forte, but the 31-year-old wound up as the clear second choice in the backfield after averaging a career- low 2.4 yards on 112 attempts.

| Chicago, IL (MySportsbook) - Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs apparently wants to be traded. Briggs was quoted by the Chicago Tribune as saying he and his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, have asked the club for the opportunity to explore a deal after the team denied a request for a restructured contract. "The Bears made their decision, now I have to make mine," Briggs told the paper. "It's just how the business works. It's not going to take away from what I do on the field.
