CHICAGO -- Tank Johnson was released Monday by the Chicago Bears, who are "embarrassed" by the defensive tackle's legal troubles and say he "compromised the credibility" of the team.

Johnson was waived three days after he was pulled over by police in Arizona. He already had been suspended for the first eight games of the 2007 season for violating probation on a gun charge. He spent two months in jail and was released in May.

"We are upset and embarrassed by Tank's actions last week," general manager Jerry Angelo said in a statement. "He compromised the credibility of our organization. We made it clear to him that he had no room for error. Our goal was to help someone through a difficult period in his life, but the effort needs to come from both sides. It didn't, and we have decided to move on."

yet another self abosorbed "professional athlete" throwing away talent and opportunity

these guys have all the potential in the world and absolutely no self control.

uhh, the Bears probably shouldn't have given this reasoning. My understanding is the CBA doesn't allow you to cut a player due to off the field issues. I guess if further suspension comes from this, which it probably will, but it hasn't yet.

they were talking about this on chicago sports radio....their nfl guy said that its completley possible but i don't remember the reasons why....

anyway,

i hate the bears with every fiber in my being and i applaud them....this guy is the queen retard of the nfl.....pac is the king and chris henry is his jester...

[LUconn]

hey, Henry is being a good boy. But who am I kidding, it's just a matter of time before he's doing something else dumb. I dont understand why these guys can't stay away from parties and strip clubs. I honestly think 95% of their problems wouldn't happen if they just stayed away from those 2 activities.
