Cross this tight end off the list of potential Bears free-agent targets

The Chicago Bears are expected to target tight end in free agency once the legal tampering period begins on March 16. But as we inch closer to the bell going off, some of the veterans who are headed for the open market will be re-signed by their current clubs.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, one veteran tight end has already been re-upped. The Houston Texans have agreed to a two-year contract extension with Darren Fells.

Fells set career-highs across the board in 2019 with 34 catches for 341 yards and seven touchdowns. Traditionally known for his ability as a blocker, Fells proved last season he can be productive as a receiver when given a chance.
