Heading into the 2019 season, Ben Braunecker was the third tight end of the depth chart and poised to make an impact. Ultimately injuries and a lack of production hurt that chance, as he finished last season with just six receptions for 59 yards. Given the Bears’ decision to overhaul the tight end room, it feels like the clock is winding down for Braunecker’s time in Chicago.

Verdict: Don’t re-sign
