**OFFICAIL** Bears 2024 Regular Season News & Schleisse - FTO Preferred - No ALTS! Derailing Is Discouraged!

[Moses Moreno]

Agreed! Nice signing, no need to draft a tight end unless a really good one falls into Poles' lap.

No need to rush the development of a rookie TE if we find value. Tonyan/Kmet is a very good room.

Packers Should Re-Sign Robert Tonyan​

Coming off a torn ACL, Tonyan had a solid season. Among NFL tight ends, he ranked 13th with 53 receptions and 19th with 470 yards. He added two touchdowns.

If the NFL were to have a best-hands competition among all players, Tonyan might win. In 2022, he dropped one pass. Of the 27 tight ends who were targeted at least 50 times, his drop rate of 1.9 percent ranked second, according to Pro Football Focus. That’s after having zero drops and 52 catches in 2020. He led the way with an 84.1 percent catch rate.

With solid route-running ability, a feel for where to attack defenses and those exquisite hands, he’s a quarterback’s best friend. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers listed Tonyan among his list of "guys you can win with."

Packers Should Let Tonyan Sign Elsewhere​

Didn't know Tonyan was from the area and grew up a Bears fan

That would be fine if he blocked like Marcedes Lewis. But that’s never been Tonyan’s game.

Tonyan will turn 29 the day after the draft.

I though Bears would get a blocking TE.

Great move. Love this

 

[playthrough2001]

I get he isn't ideal, but a 6'8" 360 lb space eater at RT transcends scheme

He moves pretty damn well for being the largest human on the planet. He and Jenkins would be sick side by side.

Why? That’s what KMET does at lot of.

 

[iueyedoc]

I think it is safe to say the Bears will not be getting any compensatory picks next year.

LOL, what FA of value have they lost? They could have signed no one and they were not gettting a comp pick.

Harrison Smith staying with the Vikings.

Not finished with his goal of concussive late hits to every NFC North QB.

 

[Enasic]

Foreman eh? Interesting ?

 

[Spitta Andretti]

RT, DE and Corner still

 

[dreadpirateroberts]

Not necessarily kmet on his last year of deal and it’s a strong te draft

This definitely doesn’t preclude them from drafting one. It just means that a rookie wouldn’t be thrust into a TE2 role right away.

 

[Bears4Ever_34]

Looking less likely the Bears go RB in the draft. Don't love that.
