Available free agent tight ends for Bears in 2024

The Chicago Bears have some pressing needs heading into free agency, and they have roughly $80 million in salary cap space to work with.

While Cole Kmet has established himself as TE1, there’s concerns about depth behind Kmet — especially when it comes to finding a true complement at TE2.

With free agency just around the corner, here’s a look at every available tight end (at time of publication) set to hit the free agent market:
