Bears Sign Brandon Lloyd to One-Year Deal

Though we are understandably disappointed in Lloyd's performance here, I don't think the issue with him was a lack of talent, but his mind set and attitude. He wasn't prepared for the spotlight and the pressure, he reacted poorly, and basically went into a downward spiral. I think he simply lacked maturity. The Redskins gave him every chance, but sometimes people close themselves off and go into a funk that you can't get them out of.

Going back to his old college coach, who has faith in him, may rekindle Lloyd's work ethic, confidence and determination. I think he could have a productive year if things go well.

i don't think its a bad move by them. they are paying him next to nothing, and he might not even make the team. for them, its worth the small risk

This is really non-news. Lloyd gets a one year deal on the one team where he may have a chance to be the No. 3 receiver. If there is one receiver in the NFL who is worse than Lloyd, it's probably Devin Hester.

Sadly I'm willing to believe he may do well in chicago based mostly on the fact that they have no one else, and I agree with Oakland Red about going back to his college coach. While I don't think he'll be elite I think he may be a midrange WR there

At least he said the right thing here and didn't try to blast the Skins
Interesting, considering Cerrato was very candid about the reasons why they let Lloyd go.

For those that missed it, here's what Cerrato had to say about Lloyd's release on Riggins radio show last week...

Vinny: "It was everyone's decision. Acutally, I think it was Brandon's decision. I don't think he likes football. I don't think he liked playing. I don't think he liked practicing. He had too many excuses for everything. So, I think our decision was the wrong decision when we signed him. It was the right idea to have the Santana, Antwan and another big receiver... it was the right thinking, but it was the wrong guy. We've got an outstanding locker room and to me, what happens when you've got a good locker room and a bad guy, the locker room runs him out."

John: "Do you think he's pretty much done, Vinny? Do you think he'll get another chance somewhere else?"

Vinny: "He's a talented guy. Somebody will probably give him a chance. I wish the best for him. It didn't work here because, I think, he didn't let it work. He didn't buy into "team" and he didn't buy into the Redskins. He bought into "Brandon", not the Redskins."


Adios Lloyd. Grow up and man up. If you do that, you might just have a shot in this league.

Thank god he's gone.Nothing but a cancer

I guess 'Da Bearz have become some type of rehab unit for former Redskin castaways. Good luck fellas.

Good Riddance
