The Chicago Bears will not be re-signing dynamic return man Devin Hester, ending the 31-year-old veteran's eight-year tenure with the team. Hester released a statement through his verified Facebook page, thanking the city of Chicago for its support as he embarks on the next step in his NFL journey: "To all my Chicago people...I can't thank you all enough for my time in Chicago. I've always said I wanted to retire a Chicago Bear but sometimes things don't work out the way we would like. Chicago will always hold a special place in my heart and if I am fortunate enough to break the return record, we will have all broken it together...no matter where I am. Thank you again and God Bless." Bleacherreport.com
