Bears general manager Ryan Pace is taking an enormous risk at a crucial position.
Plan A is to hope Trey Burton snaps back after a year-plus of surgeries and rehab and plays like he did in 2018.
Plan B is to bet against a wealth of evidence that former all-pro Jimmy Graham has little left in the tank.
The best outcome for the Bears is a resurgence from Burton and Graham, but the worst is the Bears end up looking a lot like they did last season at tight end, when J.P. Holtz started seven games and Jesper Horsted and Ben Braunecker tied for the team lead in touchdown catches at one apiece.
