Patriots acquire LB Jon Bostic from Bears

They also sent linebacker Jon Bostic to the New England Patriots.

Both deals are pending physicals for Allen and Bostic.

“You look at the offseason – guys got traded within like 30 seconds of (it) starting”, Bostic said. “I feel like he feels at home”.

“It was more of an alignment issue”, Bostic said. “We hang out, try to make it not as [focused on] football”. But Bostic was planning on being more active this week.

It’s been a whirlwind two days for Bostic, who headed to New England Monday evening, hours after being informed that he had been traded. The only apparent piece of team apparel was the shirt on his back. “…If there’s one thing they tell you coming in, it’s a business”.

I’m surprised the Bears were able to recoup anything of value for Bostic as I thought he was in danger of getting cut this preseason. Mayo has been playing just in the base safeguard and objective line bundles this season, while Freeny’s essential commitments go ahead uncommon groups.

Pace is a new breed of GM and he’s embarked an extensive rebuild, maybe learning a thing or two along the way from Epstein, who has turned the once-moribund Cubs into a National League playoff team. Last year, he played in 13 games with eight starts and led the Bears with a 127 tackles and three passes defensed.

The trade is reminiscent of the Pats’ move to get Akeem Ayers from Tennessee a year ago.

“It’s my first day here”, he said. In 2014, he caught 38 passes for 296 yards and one touchdown. A 6-foot-1, 245-pound inside thumper, Bostic was Chicago’s leading tackler a year ago but fell out of favor with Fox due to a nagging back injury as well as ankle problem.
