Ben Johnson Sends CLEAR Message With Zah Frazier Release | Bears Sign 4 Rookies

Ben Johnson Sends CLEAR Message With Zah Frazier Release | Bears Sign 4 Rookies

Author: The B.R.E.A.K.S Media May 8, 2026 Duration: 25:20

🚨 The Chicago Bears made a surprising roster move before rookie minicamp — and it may say a LOT about how Ben Johnson is building this team.

The Bears have officially waived former fifth-round cornerback Zah Frazier, ending his time in Chicago before he ever played a regular season snap. Haize reacts to the move, Ben Johnson’s comments on why the Bears decided to move on, and what this says about the new standard inside Halas Hall. šŸ»šŸ”„

But the bigger question is this: did rookie CB Malik Muhammad make Zah Frazier expendable? šŸ‘€

With Jaylon Johnson, Tyrique Stevenson, Terell Smith, Jaylon Jones, and now Malik Muhammad all in the mix, the Bears’ cornerback room is suddenly one of the most interesting position battles heading into the summer.

Haize also breaks down the Bears signing four rookie draft picks ahead of rookie minicamp:

🐻 Zavion Thomas — speed, return ability, and offensive versatility

🐻 Malik Muhammad — physical corner with a real path to snaps

🐻 Keyshaun Elliott — linebacker depth with special teams upside

🐻 Jordan van den Berg — explosive interior defensive line option

Plus, listener voicemails dive into the Bears’ defensive pressure potential, Austin Booker’s upside, the cornerback rotation, and why fans shouldn’t box in players like Sam Roush and Zavion Thomas as ā€œjustā€ role players.
