To put it lightly, the Chicago Bears have had a confusing history at the tight end position over the past decade.
They had supposedly found their tight end of the future in Greg Olsen, but then they traded him to the Carolina Panthers after just his fourth season with the team. Olsen went on to become one of the league’s best at the position, while the Bears found themselves with a major hole on an offense that was already full of them at the time. After two miserable seasons of Kellen Davis in the starting lineup, they added Martellus Bennett in free agency.
