4. Tight end struggles
The Bears’ production at the tight end position last season was embarrassing. Bears tight ends combined for 46 receptions for 416 yards and a single touchdown in 2019. This, for an offense that relies heavily on tight end production.
Injuries were a big issue last season as Trey Burton, Adam Shaheen and Ben Braunecker were all placed on injured reserve. But they weren’t contributing much to a struggling Bears offense before going down with injuries. The Bears will certainly do their job to fix the tight end position this offseason, which already includes bringing in new tight ends coach Clancy Barone.
The Good News? There are no shortage of options at tight end through free agency and the NFL Draft.
