Bye Bye Marty

Veteran WR Marty Booker was released yesterday by the Bears.

Booker, signed a two-year deal last off-season, to start his second stint with the Bears.

Last season, Booker caught only 14 passes for 211 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Booker played in 13 games with five starts while struggling to stay healthy.

Booker was not the player, the Bears had in 2002, when he went to the Pro Bowl

In 2002, Booker caught 97 passes for 1189 and six touchdowns.

Booker probably dropped more passes, than he caught this season.

This is a good move by the Bears, not only do they get rid of a decrepit Booker, but they also free up some cap room.

Booker was a big disappointment to me, I thought he would take over Muhsin Muhammad's role, but he failed to do so.

Along with Booker the Bears released linebacker Gilbert Gardner, and practice squad linebacker Marcus Riley.
