Devin HesterAfter predicting changes for the 5-8 Chicago Bears and hinting at frustration with how he has been used this season, Devin Hester tried to clarify his comments later Wednesday on his Twitter account.
Hester said Wednesday after practice: "I think there will be [changes next year]. It's been what, three seasons like this, it's tough. There will be a lot of changes, I know that for a fact. I hope it's for the better.
"[We're] not blind. Everybody sees it. It's going to be a lot of new players, and probably some other things [will] change around here."
Later Wednesday, Hester posted several tweets that claimed his comments were taken out of context.
"I feel like the media blew my interview out of proportion and that everything I said was reworded or taken the wrong way," Hester wrote.
In another post, Hester wrote: "When I am asked, "Will there be changes?" my answer is "yes". What I mean is; there will always be new guys (rookies, trades or coaches)
"That goes for every team, whether you are picked up or traded, it is still a change to the team.
"After reading current articles I feel like the press tried to make me seem like I had inside information on the future of coaches or players ..... which is not the case at all."
A Bears spokesman verified the account as Hester's for ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert.
