The Bears found their No. 2 tight end and someone quite familiar with the new offense in veteran Gerald Everett, according to ESPN. Everett, who turns 30 in June, played with Bears offensive coordinator Shane Waldron from 2017-20 with the Rams and then 2021 with the Seahawks.During those five seasons, Everett averaged 35 catches for 373 yards. He spent the past two seasons with the Chargers, overlapping with new Bears wide receivers coach Chris Beatty. He had his most productive season in 2022 58 catches for 555 yards and four touchdowns.The contract, which reportedly has an average of $6 million per year, certainly indicates that Everett will be part of two-tight end sets with Cole Kmet, and “12 personnel” is a big part of Waldron’s scheme.They should complement each other well and Everett adds a dynamic to the pass game the Bears haven't had alongside Kmet over the past three seasons, the Bears' No. 2 tight ends have combined for 29 receptions. We could still see
He'll give the Bears their most productive No. 2 tight end in years. Everett has had between 30 and 50 catches and 400 and 560 receiving yards in every season since 2018.
