ESPN makes bold prediction about Rocco Becht
Rocco Becht's transfer to Penn State could lead to Heisman contention, says ESPN.
The Chicago Bears have released cornerback Zah Frazier, a fifth-round pick from the 2025 NFL Draft, before he played a game. Frazier missed the entire previous season due to personal issues and will seek to continue his NFL career with another team.
The Chicago Bears have moved on from one of their 2025 draft picks before he ever stepped onto the field. Cornerback Zah Frazier was released on Thursday, ending his brief time with the team. Frazier was selected by the Bears in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft out of UTSA and was expected to compete for a roster spot last summer. Unfortunately, Frazier didn't practice at all during training camp due to a personal matter and wound up missing the entire season because of it. Still, the Bears had planned on him being in the mix for the 2026 season, though he had plenty of competition from players such as Terell Smith and rookie Malik Muhammad. Instead, Frazier becomes the first member of the 2025 class to move on from the organization and will attempt to restart his NFL career with another team. Here is how fans reacted to the surprising news of Frazier's release.
I wonder if we’ll ever find out what happened with Zah Frazier. Bummed to see him gone before ever playing a game
— Jacob Infante (@jacobinfante24) May 7, 2026 Zah Frazier is the most confusing draft pick I’ve ever seen what even happened to him?
— ThienemanSZN (@ThienemanSZN) May 7, 2026 Hope whatever is going on in his life gets better.
The Bears trading up for Malik Muhammad makes even more sense now.
— Dhruv Koul (@DhruvKoul) May 7, 2026 The Malik Muhammad pick makes even more sense now
— Nick Whalen (@\_NickWhalen) May 7, 2026 Last year, #Bears DB coach Al Harris identified Zah Frazier as a prospect he loved very early in the pre-draft process
I would guess whatever got them to this point now was signficant

— Daemar (@daemarrrr) May 7, 2026 Take some swings in the later rounds. Sometimes you get a brax. Sometimes you get a Frazier. Nbd. I hope everything is ok with Zah though.
