I was thinking the move was $ related because they cut Gould immediately after signing Sitton, and they signed a cheaper replacement at kicker. It just seemed a bit harsh to cut such a reliable guy after a small rough patch. Plus why keep him through the preseason and then cut him when they had no replacement on the roster. All those things combined led me to believe it was to clear out cap space/save money after spending on Sitton the same day.

Obviously I could be wrong though. Maybe the Bears just like Connor Barth and pounced.
