Chicago Bears release former Chiefs DL Jaye Howard

Earlier this offseason, the Kansas City Chiefs released defensive lineman Jaye Howard in a surprising move that caught everyone off guard. Now Howard has reportedly been released once again by the Chicago Bears, making it the second time Howard’s been unexpectedly released in a matter of months.

The Chiefs cut Howard just one year into a two-year deal, even though the veteran was expected to help anchor a line with lots of questions.
