When I heard the Houston Texans lost another running back to injury, I immediately thought of Chester Taylor.
That’s because I remember that Taylor makes his offseason home in Houston.
There’s been a lot of focus on the Bears running back depth chart. Matt Forte is clearly No. 1, but Taylor is not so clearly the backup anymore. The Bears signed Marion Barber to a two-year contract, and he’s definitely looked impressive in training camp, and he had 45 rushing yards on seven carries Saturday night.
In addition, Kahlil Bell played well, and he is something the other three are not: he’s a core member of the special teams.
With Derrick Ward leaving Monday’s game against the New York Jets, it’s fair to wonder if the Texans are looking for running back help. Pro Bowl running back Arian Foster is hurt, along with Ben Tate and Steve Slaton.
Currently, the Texans two healthy backs are Chris Ogbonnaya and Javarris Williams. Ogbonnaya had 17 carries for 37 yards, including a touchdown, and he also caught six passes for 67 yards and one touchdown.
Taylor is due to make $1.25 million this season, and the Bears surely would have to consider taking a late-round draft pick for him.

I guess the masses have spoken pretty clearly about this. If Houston needs RB depth and we could get a pick for him I'd rush back to Lake Forest, gate crash Jerry's office and make the deal myself. We don't need another RB who can't gain tough yardage and doesn't play ST. Use the $1.25 mil for Forte's extension. It's money better spent.

Bell and Barber managed well over 4 yards per carry....
Any guesses on Mr. Taylor?...
I believe it was less than 2. in fact it could have been right at 1 a carry without going back to look....
seriously... JA's MONEY in the middle rounds... hook me up with another 3 and I'll be giddy as a school girl...

At this point we would be lucky to get a 5th for him. Do it anyway.

Yep, three carries for a whopping three yards. After watching what Barber and Bell did I wonder where last years arguement went that he just didn't get any blocking. 
Oh.......there it is.

Yes do it. Like BearStuff says a 5th would work and beats cutting him-this way Unga or someone else can make the team.
Arguing on the internet is like winning the special olympics, even if you win your still messed up.
Restore the roar!

If we can get a 5th I'll pick him up in Bourbonnais and drive him to Houston myself. I think we'd be lucky to get a 7th for a guy they pretty much know we'll cut anyway. I'd be thrilled if we got a 5th for him.

Perhaps we could bundle it with Lanning or even better Harrison. Split the diff and get a 6th rounder.

If Houston is desperate we might do better than a fifth.

I don't see us getting anything for him. He will be cut.
