Gerald Everett has been released by the Chicago Bears after one season with the team. The move will save the Bears over $5 million in cap space.

Fantasy Impact

Everett was part of the retooling of the Bears' offense in 2024, following former Charger teammate Keenan Allen to the team. However, he never really caught on and caught just eight passes all season. He will look to find a home elsewhere and improve his stock.

Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reported that "it is hard to see" Gerald Everett playing with the Bears in 2025.

Fantasy Impact

Everett played in a very limited role last season. If he is released, Chicago can save $5.5 million against the cap.

Gerald Everett was held without a target or catch in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Green Bay Packers.

Fantasy Impact

Everett did not play well on Sunday. He failed to log even a single catch against the Packers, and he actually set the Bears back a little bit with an untimely holding penalty. He totaled just eight receptions for 36 yards in his first season with the Bears, leaving little optimism for his outlook for next season.

Gerald Everett failed to catch his only target in the Bears' 6-3 loss to the Seahawks in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact

Everett continues to see little involvement in the Chicago offense, logging less than two targets in each of his last nine games. The veteran tight end is best left off rosters in all formats ahead of a Week 18 contest against the Green Bay Packers.

Gerald Everett caught his only target for six yards in the Bears' 34-17 loss to the Lions in Week 16.

Fantasy Impact

Everett continues to receive minimal involvement in the Chicago offense, finishing tied for last in targets on the day. Fantasy managers can find better lineup options than the veteran tight end, with a Week 17 Thursday night contest against the Seattle Seahawks up next.
