After the 30-13 loss against the Chargers, Bears fans are angry, sad, and ready for change.

One of the changes that fans want to see - is the Bears releasing WR Velus Jones Jr.

After being drafted by the team in 2022, Jones Jr. has been straight up looking awful. Nothing positive has come from this selection, and the drop from SNF was everyone's last straw.

During the 2nd quarter, Tyson Bagent threw a deep pass aiming for Jones Jr. in the end zone, but Jones Jr. slipped and dropped the ball, even while being wide open:

After the game, Jones Jr. spoke to reporters about the play. As revealed by Bears reporter Courtney Cronin, Jones Jr. said:

"When I got even with the DB, I knew I was going to be open, so I went to digging and had looked back for the ball and (it was) a little under thrown, so I started working back to the ball as I was trying to track it and I had lost my footing because I was running back to it at an angle. I almost ran past it so I tried to stop and I had slipped. It's not no excuse. It was a catchable ball. I mean, I had it. It's just real devastating when you prepare all week for practice and put in the extra work that's needed and you catch a ball like that a hundred times after practice, a hundred times on the jugs and it's like that small window of opportunity that you get to show what you can do and it don't happen for you. I feel like everything happens for a reason and I feel like this is a great opportunity for me to learn from it and get back to work, working that same route when I get back to practice. It definitely sucks. Everything went wrong. Like I said, it's just a routine play, made it a hundred times in practice but it just sucks when you put in the work and you don't get the results."

Though he states he is not making an excuse, it seems like Jones Jr. believes that if the throw was more on target, then he would have had the ball, but because Bagent underthrew it, it caused for him to lose his footing.
