Speculation is a fun part of writing about sports, and adding discussion topics for you guys is an offseason must, but it’s important to keep in mind that not every pending free agent or released veteran is going to be a fit for the Chicago Bears.
The Carolina Panthers have released tight end Greg Olsen, and the immediate clamor to ‘bring him home’ to Chicago started amongst some fans. While I was just as irked by Mike Martz’s offense forcing the Olsen trade in 2011 as anyone, the 2020 version of the Bears offense doesn’t really have a need for a 35-year old tight end that has injury issues the last three years.
