There is no doubt about the fact that the Chicago Bears are in dire need of a consistent tight end presence. The team struggled with injuries in 2019 and Trey Burton might not be the guy. It makes sense for the team to cut ties with Adam Shaheen and find a replacement who can not only step in and play right away but also make an immediate impact.
In fact, I would not be shocked if a rookie tight end were to be able to outperform Burton and find his way into the starting role early in the season.
