MOBILE, Ala. — Every team wants a versatile pass-catching tight end, but in Matt Nagy’s offense, it’s a necessity. So while there are many reasons why the Bears’ offense was abysmal this season, that spot was the biggest issue outside of quarterback.
It’s a top priority this offseason, and it would behoove the Bears to find a quality contributor in the draft rather than spend big on free agency when Trey Burton is already on a sizable contract.
That’s going to be tricky this year. There’s a chance this could be the first draft without a tight end picked in the first round since 2016.
