2. Adam Shaheen is a goner, right?
The writing is certainly on the wall for former second-round tight end Adam Shaheen. The selection of Notre Dame tight end Cole Kmet — who general manager Ryan Pace proudly declared as Chicago’s TE of the future — solidified just that.
During an offseason where Pace has been admitting mistakes, Shaheen feels like the latest admission. Shaheen has been a disappointment in his three injury-shortened years with the Bears. He has just 26 catches for 249 yards and four touchdowns in 27 games.
Shaheen already faced an uphill battle to make the 53-man roster. Three tight ends feel like locks for this roster at this point — Kmet, Jimmy Graham and Demetrius Harris. And Kmet and Harris are your “Y” tight ends, which leaves Shaheen, also a “Y” tight end, on the outside looking in.
