Source: TE Robert Tonyan to join Bears on 1-year deal
The Chicago Bears are signing Green Bay Packers free agent tight end Robert Tonyan to a one-year deal, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday.
Tonyan becomes the second key offensive player to leave the Packers in free agency, following Allen Lazard, who reached a four-year deal with the New York Jets earlier this week. The Packers also are negotiating with the Jets to trade quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who said Wednesday on "The Pat McAfee Show" that he wants to play for New York this coming season.
In Chicago, Tonyan joins a tight end depth chart led by Cole Kmet, who had 50 receptions for 544 yards and seven touchdowns last season.
