The Chicago Bears tight end position was a wasteland after Martellus Bennett was traded to the New England Patriots. The Bears had a giant question in Zach Miller and absolutely nothing behind him. A year can make a big difference and it certainly has for the Bears’ tight end position.
Assuming the Bears carry three tight ends, they’ll have two locks out of those three entering training camp. The first lock goes to Dion Sims. The Bears gave Sims a 3-year $18 million contract with two years guaranteed. The Bears need help blocking from the TE position and Sims will provide just that.
