Mundy isn't expected to challenge for a starting role this season at one of the Bears' two safety spots, ESPN.com reports. Though Mundy led the Bears with 103 tackles and tied for the top honors on the team in interceptions (four), it was mostly a product of circumstance than pure skill. After veteran Antrel Rolle was signed in the offseason to play strong safety, it appears Mundy won't be given a legitimate chance at competing for the free safety role, where Brock Vereen and rookie Adrian Amos are the top candidates for those duties. Instead, Mundy is expected to see most of his work as part of sub packages, where his lower expected snap count will make tackle opportunities more scarce.

I didn't really watch the bears much but why would they not even consider starting a guy who led them in tackles and tied for picks? Did he only have a lot of tackles because he got burned a lot and teams were constantly throwing at him or something?

I had Vereen and Mundy last season, and kept Mundy for this year. A Bears writer thinks Amos is too similar to Rolle to start beside him and Mundy is ahead of Vereen... chicagofootball.com

What does any of this have to do with his sexual preference? This is a joke. At this point, in 2015, I think people should not criticize him just because he is gay.
