CHICAGO — The Nate Davis era is over at Halas Hall after the Bears cut him Wednesday.
The lineman had a tough time finding the field despite being paid over $10 million a year. He had an opt-out after this season and the Bears will face a $2 million dead cap hit for him in 2025.
Davis was a 2019 third round pick of the Titans and signed a three-year deal with the Bears in March 2023.
He has started just two games this season and was added to the injury report on Sunday morning ahead of the Patriots’ game.
Eberflus and new offensive coordinator Thomas Brown, who was promoted Tuesday after Shane Waldron’s firing, must figure the offensive line out.
Quarterback Caleb Williams has been sacked 15 times in the last two games as the offense failed to score a touchdown in both contests.
The Bears hope to upset the Packers Sunday on the lakefront.
