The Bears signed tight end Ben Braunecker to a two-year $2.7-million extension last offseason, but they could decide to move on from him if they overhaul the tight end position.The Bears would save $1.5 million salary cap space if they parted ways with Braunecker.

Given the lack of production from tight ends, Chicago is looking to shore up the position. They’ve had their eyes on some top prospects in the NFL Draft, and free agency also presents an opportunity to fix the most important position in Matt Nagy’s offense, second only to quarterback.
