Dion Sims
Dion Sims is an interesting case. He only caught 26 passes for 256 yards and four touchdowns for the Miami Dolphins last season. And he’s mostly been known as a blocking tight end throughout his young career so far. Yet, he received a three-year deal for $18 million, with $10 million guaranteed.
But he’s only 26 years old and has plenty of receiving ability. Because of that, he can be considered a two-way tight end, which the Bears love to use in their offense. Zach Miller is the incumbent starter, and all of the attention this offseason has gone to Adam Shaheen, who was drafted in the second round and reminds many people of Rob Gronkowski. But Sims was signed for a reason, and he seems to be flying under the radar with all of the attention being paid to Shaheen. Not only does Sims add depth to a position that sorely needed it, but he could very well be the starter coming out of training camp. I expect Sims to be a regular, almost integral contributor to the offense.
