Football Betting Lines
09/04/2010 - Lake Forest, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Wide receiver Juaquin Iglesias and defensive lineman Jarron Gilbert, a pair of third-round draft choices of the Chicago Bears in 2009, were released by the team as part of their Saturday "cut-down day" maneuvers.
Iglesias starred at Oklahoma as a collegian, but appeared in just one game as a rookie and could not crack a crowded depth chart at wide receiver or suitably impress new offensive coordinator Mike Martz in the preseason.
Gilbert, the former YouTube sensation out of San Jose State, played in four games as a rookie but could not make enough of an impact to stick with the team for a second season.
Both players have practice squad eligibility.
Also released on Saturday were safety Al Afalava, tight end Richard Angulo, wide receiver Freddie Barnes, offensive lineman Josh Beekman, defensive back Cornelius Brown, offensive lineman Levi Horn, quarterback Dan LeFevour, linebacker Kevin Malast, offensive lineman James Marten, wide receiver Greg Mathews, defensive back Quentin Scott, linebacker Tim Shaw, linebacker Kelvin Smith, defensive back Woodny Turenne, defensive lineman Barry Turner, center Tim Walter, safety Aaron Webster, fullback Eddie Williams, offensive lineman Edwin Williams, and defensive end Mick Williams.
Notables among that group include Afalava, who started 13 games for the Bears at strong safety last season; Angulo, who has appeared in 27 NFL games since breaking into the league in 2003, most recently with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2008; and Shaw, who set a team record with 30 special-teams tackles in 2009.
The Bears open their regular season next Sunday, when they play host to the NFC North rival Detroit Lions.
