Chicago Bears working on trading tight end Martellus Bennett

The Chicago Bears are working with the tight end’s agent on an acceptable landing spot for both sides.

For all intensive purposes, the Martellus Bennett era in Chicago is officially over. After three seasons with the Chicago Bears, including a 2015 season where he was placed on injured reserve for the last four weeks of the year, the team is moving on and preparing to ship the big tight end to another team.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Bennett’s agent is working with the Bears on a trade that will be acceptable for both parties:

Bennett was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the second round of the 2008 Draft. He made the occasional big play, but was never able to take over the starting spot. He left in free agency before the 2012 season, joining the New York Giants and becoming their starter for the season.

After one year with the Giants, Bennett signed a four-year deal with the Chicago Bears before the 2013 season. He was selected for his only Pro Bowl after a 2014 season that saw him reach career highs in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns. His numbers took a dip in 2015, a year in which he suffered a rib injury against the Denver Broncos in the middle of November.

Bennett made waves by questioning his role with the team shortly before he was placed on injured reserve, ending his 2015 campaign with four games left on the schedule.
