Frequent End Zone Visitor Appears: Devin Hester has completed his untimely two-day vacation away from the gridiron and arrived at Olivet Nazarene University, reporting to camp earlier this Friday morning with high hopes of receiving a new contract.
GM Jerry Angelo has been involved in numerous chats with Hester’s agent, Eugene Parker, and expects to reach a new deal by this weekend. Parker indicated the possibility that Hester would entertain a holdout, but Angelo didn’t take the threat too seriously. Now that Hester is ready to suit up, the team quickly reinserted him back in to the training camp roster and said goodbye to tight end Marcus Stone.
Angelo Speaks: Meanwhile on Thursday, ESPN1000 talked with the Bears shot caller Jerry Angelo, and he sounded very confident and believes “good news” is soon to transpire. Still, yet it’s unknown whether a new contract has been put together already or if both sides have just continued the negotiating process. “We’re optimistic and we want to reward Devin,” Angelo said. “We told him that, he’s earned that. He doesn’t have to tell us how great he is. Or tell us any stats. We’ve all seen it for ourselves.”
