Newson was released by the Rams yesterday after participating in thier rookie mini-camp last weekend.

Hope he gets a shot somewhere else.

Wow. Talk about a cup of coffee. Doesn't bode well...

Yipes!

He shold be able to get a shot with another team... maybe the Kitty cats, or possibly the Bungles might be interested.

Being a Bears fan, I want to tell Keon he should jump right into his car and drive straight to Chicago's camp. They need help EVERYWHERE!!! Good luck Keon....I wish we still had you one more year at BG.

Also being a Bears fan, what are you talking about. The Bears defense is actually very good on this team. True I would welcome any Falcon on the Bears squad, but the defense does not need as much help as you make it sound. This team is not that far from being solid. As per Keon, I hope he catches on somewhere and contiunues his football career. He has a nose for the ball, which comes out during games and I hope he gets the chance to show this skill for finding the ball off somewhere.

The disheartening news is at the very bottom of this article in case anyone wants to see the news for themselves.

Keon is a playmaker....I'm convinced he'll catch on with someone whether in the NFL, CFL or AFL. Best of luck Keon!

I wouldn't mind if he ended up in the CFL. CBC is part of basic cable here in BG

Damn, that was quick. Did he sleep with the coach's daughter or something? Sheesh!

Keon isn't an NFL player, IMO, guys. I'd love to see him succeed and make an NFL roster, but much like Patton, I just don't think he's got the speed to play in the secondary for an NFL team.

His best bet is fishing.

No ouch, Keon would likely enjoy joining the Pro Bass Tour.

Heck, I'd probably watch it too, if Keon was in it.

I understood the reference but still...

I certainly meant no disrespect to him for it. I was assuming that fishing was his #2 career choice behind the NFL... From some interviews I have read with him it almost sounds like he'd RATHER be fishing than playing pro football.

I love what he did for BG, and he was a darn good college DB. I just don't see him ever making an impact at the NFL level. I wish him luck in whatever career path he chooses. I just don't think he's got the raw natural ability to be an NFL DB.

Hammb I also understood that you meant no disrespect. You just have a way of being brutally honest.

In regards to the Bears, I agree that the defense is NOT what needs the help. With our drafts this year on offense (esp. Cedric Benson), a healthy Rex Grossman and Urlacher for the whole season, they might not be that bad. Mix in that they finally got rid of the A-Train, and David Terrell and I think we're in shape. Allright, back to BG talk, sorry, Jeff
