Bears general manager Jerry Angelo announced that the club will release receiver Sam Hurd this afternoon. Hurd will be subject to the NFL's waiver wire, which means other clubs can pick up the remainder of his contract. Angelo insisted that the club had no suspicion of Hurd's alleged involvement as a drug dealer. "For me to say we should have known something we didn't know, I can't say this. There's no foundation for anybody to say that," Angelo said. "No facts, no flags that anybody can present tangibly to say otherwise. "I want to make that perfectly clear to the public and the fans. We did our homework. We do our due diligence. We did everything you could possibly do given the information we can allocate," he said. "Saying that, we go back, we ask questions, is there something we could have done, something we should have done in the process. Sometimes there are glitches. In this case there are none. I can sit here and tell you with total transparency that we did everything we could do in terms of our research and there was nothing we found that would create a flag or alert or real concern in Sam Hurd's case."

Was hoping Sam Hurd would do something in the league. Never figured he'd be doing something outside of the league.
why do something like that when you signed a rather nice contract. That is a large amount of weekly purchases. Bye Bye.
To his credit, it looks like he was doing "something" in the league. Just not playing good football. But I guess sometimes you gotta play the role to conduct "bid ness" right?!?
