Whether Zach Miller ever plays again, or not, he’ll be a member of the Bears in 2018.
The tight end, who suffered a likely career-ending left leg injury in October, will receive a one-year contract from the team, per Pro Football Talk. The “split” deal reported by the site will pay him whether he’s healthy or not, allowing Miller to be with his teammates and use the Bears’ training facilities.
Whether he plays again is an another question. He stopped needing his crutches only in late March. But the Bears have made a classy statement about their loyalty to Miller, who was one of the team’s most beloved teammates even before his horrifying injury.
