Why the hell did the Bears ever cut Robbie Gould?

Never missed a post season FG in a 15+ yr career... Yet the Bears saw fit that he no longer needed to be part of their organization in 2016. Makes no sense.

Maybe he was expecting "best kicker in the league" level money and they had to clear up space for Trubisky

Because he is a good player.

eta: quick glance shows he missed 6 fgs his last year in Chi so they probably thought he was washed up

Was he the kicker of the double bounce?

Well, the Bears and the post season are oil and water so that's probably good reason.

They needed players at other positions more than they needed a kicker

He was horrible in his last year in Chicago. He just turned it around.

Because we knew he would be back at Lambeau 5 years later to crush the Packers. Chess not checkers my friend.

Chicago had no plans of making the post season so no need for a post season type kicker

Not only did he miss 6, I believe a bunch of those misses were primetime games which put him in the spot light.
