Harris, a former Pro-Bowler, started 90 of 104 career games over his seven years as a Bear. He had 286 tackles, 28.5 sacks, six forced fumbles and was given the team’s 2007 Ed Block Courage Award and 2004 Brian Piccolo Award.
Hillenmeyer had 458 tackles, seven sacks and two interceptions in his 101 career games, 69 of which were as a starter.
Shaffer started seven games at right tackle over his two seasons with the Bears. He’s played in 132 career NFL games with Atlanta (2002-05), Cleveland (2006-08) and Chicago.
The Chicago Bears have finally cut Tommie Harris. It has been three years since Tommie has had a good season for the Bears, and he was the second highest paid player on the defense, making $10 million a season.
Tommie was one of the best defensive tackles in the league 5 years ago and a key to their 2006 NFC championship team but it seems like injuries, laziness and general crappy play has finally caught up with him. How you go from being that good, to being benched for full games because the coach doesn't think you are good enough is beyond me. I won't miss Tommie Harris a bit anymore. I missed him two years ago, when he decided to stop being good, but I'm over him now, as it appears the Bears are too.
