Ex-Bears Cut by Giants From Practice Squad After 2 Weeks, Pleads for Bears Reunion

Giants sign CB Greg Stroman to practice squad, release three

Chicago, IL – Cornerback Greg Stroman Jr., a former Chicago Bears player, has been released by the New York Giants from their practice squad just a few days after joining, leaving him back on the free-agent market. The move occurred on the evening of October 7, and Stroman has quickly expressed his desire to return to the Bears – the team he once called home.

Stroman, 28, was a seventh-round pick by the Washington Commanders in the 2018 NFL Draft. After stints with the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams, he joined the Bears in 2022, playing in 4 games, recording 5 tackles, and making an impact on special teams. However, he was cut from the Bears' 53-man roster in August 2024 to make room for new talent. Recently, Stroman signed a practice squad deal with the Giants on October 1, but was let go shortly after.

On X, Stroman posted: "Giants gave me a brief shot, but my heart is still in Chicago. Bears, if you need a CB for special teams or depth, I’m ready to fight! #BearDown." The post garnered support from Bears fans, especially given the team’s current challenges on defense.

Currently, the Bears are grappling with an injury crisis at the running back (RB) position. D'Andre Swift suffered an ankle sprain during the 21-28 loss to the Lions on October 5 and is expected to miss 2-3 weeks. Roschon Johnson also sustained a hamstring issue, exiting after just 15 snaps. Travis Homer, the only remaining backup, has yet to exceed 50 rushing yards in any game this season. This situation has forced the team to consider roster adjustments, and Stroman – with 29 NFL games, 65 tackles, and 3 interceptions under his belt – could be a temporary solution if called back to the practice squad.

GM Ryan Poles has not commented, but with the defense needing depth, Stroman’s chances of returning to Soldier Field appear promising. Fans are eagerly awaiting the coaching staff’s decision.

Chiefs Linked To Saints Super Star With 5x Pro Bowl & 2x All-Pro in Blockbuster Trade, Per Source
Kansas City, MO — According to a circulating on X (Twitter), the Kansas City Chiefs have been “linked” to Alvin Kamara—the New Orleans Saints superstar, five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro—as a potential target ahead of the trade deadline. The speculation has heated up as various outlets have also floated Kamara as a logical “fit” should the Chiefs look to add a versatile, late-season playmaker on offense. At 30, Kamara is a rare dual-threat RB who excels as both a runner and receiver. He tied the NFL single-game record with six rushing touchdowns (Christmas Day 2020 vs. the Vikings), and he has recently been recognized as the Saints’ all-time leader in rushing yards. Across his career: 5× Pro Bowl, 2× Second-Team All-Pro, and a skill set tailor-made for Andy Reid’s motion/spacing concepts—screens, angle/choice routes, safe check-downs, and short play-action. Tactically, if a move ever materialized, Kamara would immediately put stress on short-to-intermediate coverages, force defenses to roll a safety, and give Kansas City intriguing two-back looks alongside Isiah Pacheco on 3rd-and-medium and in the red zone. In this hypothetical scenario, Kamara voices a desire for a fresh challenge after hitting so many personal milestones in New Orleans: “I’ve achieved just about everything with the Saints, and I want a new challenge for myself. What could be better than a team competing directly for a Super Bowl? Just thinking about wearing Red and Gold really excites me.” Source: @nflrums X As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the Chiefs or the Saints regarding any talks. Still, Kamara’s résumé and toolbox explain why his name is quickly paired with Kansas City whenever rumors of an offensive upgrade surface. With 5× Pro Bowls, 2× All-Pro honors, and a proven knack for tilting games as both a runner and receiver, even a whisper on social media is enough to make Chiefs Kingdom perk up.
