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.
Well, if Gould has to be replaced, Barth looks like a good choice. Who Knows? Maybe he's the Bears next Robbie Gould.
Gotta say this: Gould's career stats are not to be denied. I'd sign him but you'd be able to knock me over with a feather if the Bengals do. Cutting Nugent now just isn't Bengals-like.
Some say you can place your ear next to his, and hear the ocean ....
