Bears: Tank Johnson released by Bears

The Bears waived Terry Johnson on Monday, three days after he was pulled over by police in Arizona, , according to the AP.

"We are upset and embarrassed by Tank's actions last week," general manager Jerry Angelo said in a statement. "He compromised the credibility of our organization. We made it clear to him that he had no room for error.

Our goal was to help someone through a difficult period in his life, but the effort needs to come from both sides. It didn't, and we have decided to move on." Johnson already had been suspended for the first eight games of the 2007 season for violating probation on a gun charge.

He spent two months in jail and was released in May. This was just a matter of time.

Unfortunately, he'll likely be picked up by some other team once he's eligible to play again.
