Latest Chicago Bears News: Ray McDonald, Rookie Profiles and Much More
Happy Tuesday, BEARS FANS!!! I’ve decided to try to resurrect an old favorite of mine, Bear Dawn. It’s the latest Chicago Bears news from around the interwebs. Here’s what you need to know for Tuesday May 26, 2015 as you’re hopefully starting a short work week after enjoying Memorial Day weekend.
Whatever your Memorial Day was like, I guarantee it was better than Ray McDonald’s. He spent the day Monday in jail, arrested on another domestic violence charge.

Ryan Pace and George McCaskey certainly had a rough day too. Both are rightfully getting hammered for signing McDonald. I said it was Ryan Pace’s first big mistake. The move reflected very poorly on the Bears organization. Of course, no one had a worse day than the victim.
Moon Mullin’s take on releasing McDonald – crediting George McCaskey with some heightened sense of accountability – just comes off as lazy and patronizing.
Didn’t McDonald know he shouldn’t get arrested on Brian Urlacher’s birthday.
There was more going on than the Ray McDonald fiasco.
We’re continuing our position reviews with the offensive tackles and started previewing some of the rookies like safety Adrian Amos, undrafted rookie defensive tackle Terry Williams, CB Bryce Callahan and linebacker John Timu.
Undrafted free agent safety Anthony Jefferson thinks he’s a fit with the Bears.
Tim Jennings wants a role in the secondary, not a secondary role.
It looks like rookie wide receiver Kevin White got some new wheels:
"Congratulations to my Twinnon"
ESPN’s Jeff Dickerson with the most unfortunate headline in hindsight, saying Ray McDonald would be helping to anchor the Bears defensive line:
"As for the scheme-specific members of the defensive front, McDonald is an instant upgrade at defensive end. He is a risky signing given his off-the-field issues, but he fits the scheme perfectly — he was a former full-time starter in San Francisco under new Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio."
At least he acknowledged it was risky.
