INDIANAPOLIS -- The Chicago Bears plan to let veteran Zach Miller test free agency next month, even though starting tight end Martellus Bennett could play elsewhere in 2016.
“What happens at this stage in the game is you understand the reality that a lot of times these guys have to hit the open market to set their value,” general manager Ryan Pace said. “I understand that’s the case with a lot of these positions. That’s the necessary place that we’re in right now. We like Zach, I don’t want to go through every one of our unrestricted free agents, but he’s a guy we’d want back and we’re negotiating with him.
