Jobless failed Bears experiment may be forced into early retirement

With NFL teams opening training camp, the Chicago Bears are fully invested in a brand-new era. Gone are the days of ho-hum head coaches who produce nothing but word salad. Enter: the Ben Johnson era.

Along with the previous era coming to a close comes some former players who were clearly not a fit. Specifically, we're talking about a former favorite of Shane Waldron who is no longer in Chicago. In fact, he currently doesn't have a job: tight end Gerald Everett.

Everett's fall from grace was pretty rapid, considering he was coming off of five-straight seasons with at least 400 receiving yards.
