After considering retirement, Devin Hester thinks he can play two or three more years but just maybe not in Chicago. Chris Wesseling reports that Hester now believes he would benefit from a “fresh start”. Hester thinks that his skill set would be more suitable if Chicago designed plays for him like the Packers do for Randall Cobb but that never seemed to happen so Hester doesn’t want to play wide receiver if he stays in Chicago.
The Chicago media hasn’t been kind to Hester accusing him of being mentally and emotionally weak because if everything isn’t going right, he checks out of games. Hester admits this himself:
“I know some of the plays I should have made in terms of catching the ball. But I just wasn’t feeling it.” “My mind wasn’t there the majority of the time.”
With a new head coach coming in and Hester’s admitting that his head is not in the game, the Bears might very well put Hester on the trading block. Hester admits the possibility of a trade but he’s due a huge roster bonus this offseason so the Bears just might cut their losses before cutting the check.
