I was really pumped when we first signed Sims. But now I am glad we are moving on from him. What TEs do we have under contract now for 2019? Shaheen is one, but I don't know who else.
Shaheen & Burton
Braunecker & Brown are FAs I believe. I assume Pace will keep one of them (Braunecker preferably) and find a 4th TE on the cheap in the FA/UDFA market or late draft.
Both were pretty cheap themselves. If we could resign them for the same as we paid in 2018, the total CAP hit would be just under $1.5 million.

I know and I hope they keep Braunecker of the two. Brown is pretty expendable IMO. Pace should be able to pick up a 4th TE for just as cheap or draft one in the 7th round for instance.
A word on Shaheen: due mostly to injury, he's been pretty disappointing through his first 2 seasons. As a 2nd round pick, the Bears need much more from him than he's shown thus far. 2019 will be a big year for him to put up or shut up. IOW, stay healthy and produce, Adam!
