Bears notified Cowboys of Jeremiah Ratliff release as a security precaution
One of the first calls Chicago made after releasing Jeremiah Ratliff was to the Cowboys to alert the club that he may be returning to his home near Valley Ranch.
Sources stressed that Ratliff made no specific threat against the Cowboys or anyone in the organization. Still, given the tumultuous circumstances under which Ratliff left the Cowboys, the Bears wanted to be sure the club was notified as a security precaution.
One week ago Ratliff engaged in what has been characterized as erratic and hostile behavior at the Bears practice facility. After several arguments and confrontations, including one with Chicago general manager Ryan Pace, the nose tackle was released. Lake Forest police were called to the team's practice facility as a precaution and there's a report that a heightened state of security was in place on Oct. 22 when the release became official.
Sources said Ratliff has not attempted to come by the Cowboys facility in the past week.
