The Chicago Bears are entering an exciting offseason with significant opportunities. With the recent hiring of head coach Ben Johnson, the Bears are positioned with the fifth-most salary cap space and four of the first 72 picks in the upcoming NFL Draft. However, roster changes are expected, and some players, like Teven Jenkins, may not return.

Gerald Everett, a tight end who signed a two-year, $12 million contract last year, is facing potential release due to his disappointing performance, finishing with just eight catches for 36 yards. With only $1 million in dead cap, cutting him seems probable unless Johnson can effectively utilize him in the new offensive scheme.
