Bears release Jeremiah Ratliff after exchange with GM
Jeremiah RatliffThe Chicago Bears cut Jeremiah Ratliffon Thursday a day after the defensive lineman was seen having an animated discussion with general manager Ryan Pace.
The exchange between Ratliff and Pace occurred in a parking lot outside of the team's suburban facility.
"We felt moving forward without Jeremiah was in the best interest of our team," Pace said. "We appreciate his contributions and wish him well."
The move comes after the Bears lost, 37-34, at Detroit on Sunday to drop to 2-4 in their first season under Pace and coach John Fox. Chicago has a bye this week.
