Bears Release Guard Nate Davis Amid Offensive Overhaul

The Chicago Bears have released veteran guard Nate Davis, who signed a three-year, $30 million contract in March 2023, due to his fall on the depth chart and ongoing injury issues. Despite being a healthy inactive in recent games, the Bears decided to cut Davis even with injuries on their offensive line. Davis' $8.75 million base salary for this season is fully guaranteed, but the Bears could offset some costs if another team signs him. The move highlights a misstep in free agency for the Bears, although other signings have been successful.
