The Bears added a bunch of pieces this year to hopefully take the next step, but who is likely entering their last season in Chicago?

4. Nate Davis, G

When Nate Davis is on the field and healthy he is an above-average guard in the NFL. The problem is he never seems to be both of those at the same time. Davis was signed in 2022 to a three-year deal worth $30M after coming off a good campaign with the Titans. He was viewed to be coming in and anchoring the interior offensive line for the Bears but has not quite lived up to those expectations. He played in just 11 games last year and has already missed some time in training camp this season with injuries.

There has been plenty of drama surrounding Davis' lack of practicing in order to build continuity among the offensive line. Coaches seem to brush this aside, but the fans are getting restless and I assume if this continues the coaches will as well.

Davis will still have one more year left on his deal after this season, but the Bears can save $9.5M in cap if they cut him pre-June 1st 2025. Ryan Bates can provide depth at the position as well as rookie Kiran Amegadjie who played some guard at Yale.
