Bears | Jhajuan Seales placed on waivers
Chicago Bears WR Jhajuan Seales was waived Tuesday, May 30.
Bears | Chicago takes back Connor Shaw waiver
Chicago Bears QB Connor Shaw will remain with the Bears for now after Chicago rescinded its waiving Shaw Tuesday, May 30. Shaw will participate in organized team activities but could be waived once QB Mark Sanchez (knee) is fully healed.
Footballguys View: Welp, that’s a bit awkward….but Shaw should know the deal. We’d expect him to be waived – and actually hit the waiver wire – when Sanchez is back for training camp.

Bears | Mark Sanchez hurts knee
Chicago Bears QB Mark Sanchez (knee) injured his left knee during organized team activities Tuesday, May 30.
Footballguys View: This injury just means more reps for Mitchell Trubisky and Mike Glennon. We should see Glennon as the starter, but Trubisky is clearly the QB of the future. Sanchez is expected to return for the start of training camp.
Raiders | Derek Carr would play sans extension
Oakland Raiders QB Derek Carr said he will play out the 2016 season even if a contract extension is not agreed upon before the start of the season. Carr added that he doesn’t want the extension to be a distraction this year. The quarterback’s hope is that an extension will be done by training camp.
Footballguys View: The Raiders should work diligently to get this done. Carr is one of the best young quarterbacks in the league, and that new extension is going to be a hefty price tag. He’s worth it, and everybody knows it. They don’t need to go through any franchise tag scenario with Carr, just sign him to a big money deal and move on. Plenty of teams would love to have the ‘problem’ of signing Carr.
