5. Tight end was arguably the most glaring offensive issue (not named Trubisky)

Given the importance of the tight end position in Matt Nagy’s offense, the lack of production from that group was one of the most alarming and telling aspect of the Bears’ offensive struggles.

The tight ends were nonexistent in the offense this season. 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.

Worse than that, Chicago’s top three tight ends — Trey Burton, Adam Shaheen and Ben Braunecker — were all on injured reserve by season’s end. But even before that, they weren’t producing on the field.

The Bears need to address the tight end position either through free agency or the NFL draft. There will be some intriguing names on the free agent market this offseason, including Hunter Henry, Austin Hooper and Eric Ebron, as well as in the NFL Draft, including Brycen Hopkins and Harrison Bryant. The Bears can’t make the same mistake they did in 2019 at the tight end position, and all signs are pointing to the Bears aiming to ensure that.
