Bears seeking trade for Martellus Bennett

Benji, Funchess, Olsen, and Bennett on the field at the same time?

Cam would be delighted! Though I don't see us trading for Bennett and giving him a big(ish) payday, while losing a draft pick as well. I think we'd be better off pursuing someone like Antonio Gates if he doesn't resign with the Chargers because he wants to try and get a ring, or even look at Ladarius Green who has shown flashes of upside.

Fully expect if #Bears cannot find trade partner for Martellus Bennett, that they end up releasing him. 
Sources around the NFL have told Biggs that they doubt the Bears will be able to trade Bennett.

According to Biggs, Bennett frustrated coaches and teammates last year and things reportedly went off the rails in their practice before their Thanksgiving game at Green Bay.

Welp...

Let him be someone else's problem.  We don't need that in the locker room.

Martellus is a 3 down guy so it would be a huge upgrade over Dickson.  He's a better blocker and better tight end all around.  If they can swing it they should.  Not saying it's probable.

You really think he wants to be a #2 mostly used to block? He is easily a top 15 TE in the league. No chance.

"Not saying it's probable"  Reading is fundamental.

    • If we lose tomorrow we’d have to sweep the Bucs in order to get into the playoffs. With a loss tomorrow the Bucs would then hold the tie breaker if we finished tied If we can’t split with NO then we sure as hell not sweeping Tampa It’s win or go home tomorrow in my eyes  Biggest game since 2017 playoff game imo  
    • Grok AI: No, there are no credible reports that the Carolina Hurricanes offered Jake Guentzel the same contract terms as Tampa Bay (7 years, $63 million total, $9 million AAV) before he signed with the Lightning. Reliable sources, including The Athletic, consistently reported that Carolina’s offer during negotiations was an eight-year deal worth $64 million ($8 million AAV). Guentzel did not accept it promptly, leading the Hurricanes to trade his negotiating rights to Tampa Bay on June 30, 2024, for a 2025 third-round pick. He then quickly signed the 7x$9M deal with the Lightning on July 1, 2024. Guentzel himself later reflected (in 2025 interviews) that staying in Carolina was his initial preference, but negotiations stalled and “didn’t work out,” with Tampa’s opportunity becoming a “no-brainer.” No reports from outlets like ESPN, NHL.com, or insiders (e.g., Elliotte Friedman, Pierre LeBrun, Frank Seravalli) indicate Carolina ever matched or offered the Lightning’s exact terms—total money, AAV, or length. The extra year was Carolina’s key advantage, but they reportedly stuck closer to $8M AAV and moved on when Guentzel explored options.
