Chicago Bears 2023 Roster Turnover: Is tight end help needed?
Photo by Mike Mulholland/Getty ImagesThe Chicago Bears played in 12 personnel (1 RB/2TE), the tenth most frequently (24%) in the NFL during the 2022 season, and they went with 13 personnel, the sixth most (6%). On the season, the Bears used more than one tight end on the field for 330 offensive snaps, but all of their reserve tight ends only accounted for six receptions and 52 yards.
They are clearly happy with their TE1, but if they are going to continue to use more than one tight end on the field as much as they did a season ago, then finding a player or two that would be an actual threat in the offense makes sense.
