The signing of Martellus Bennett seems to be rippling through the Bears roster, as the release of Matt Spaeth comes on the heels of the release of the other tight end, Kellen Davis. Spaeth came to the Bears from Pittsburgh. In his two years in Chicago, he played in 31 games with 13 receptions, and 3 touchdowns. Often utilized as more of a blocking tight-end, Spaeth was never truly given a chance in Chicago to prove if he could be a 3 down type of TE, but he probably could be. Spaeth was due a $500,000 roster bonus tomorrow, so the timing of this release is hardly surprising. He'll still count about $333,000 or so against the cap, but this release frees $1.625 million of cap space. Source: SBNation.com
