Chicago Bears Release Guard Nate Davis Amid Offensive Struggles
The decision to cut the high-paid lineman comes after a series of injuries and performance issues, adding to the team's ongoing challenges.
- Nate Davis, signed for $30 million in 2023, was released by the Bears after starting only 13 games over two seasons.
- Davis struggled with injuries and consistency, leading to his demotion and eventual release despite the Bears' offensive line woes.
