NFL world reacts to Bears releasing CB Zah Frazier

[ASFN Admin]

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.

Zah Frazier is the most confusing draft pick I’ve ever seen what even happened to him? https://t.co/sxMVZOiGIS

Hope whatever is going on in his life gets better.

The Bears trading up for Malik Muhammad makes even more sense now. https://t.co/6nOkmIcAgP

The Malik Muhammad pick makes even more sense now https://t.co/sVPP8CVNpi

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 https://t.co/5VOO2WQOvZ

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. https://t.co/HahzRnZuBE
