John Tait Considering Retirement

While the Bears are busy cutting unwanted players from their roster, a player they want to return might be interested in leaving the team, and leaving football altogether.

Offensive tackle John Tait, a Chicago Bear since 2004 and 10 year veteran has hinted towards retirement. Tait played through injuries the last few years and underwent ankle surgery after the 2006 season.

''You notice little things that didn't happen when you were younger,'' he said. ''It just takes a little bit longer to recover from games. I think you have to do a lot more maintenance, just the upkeep. That's the biggest thing.''
