Will be released The Bears recently informed Everett that he will be released, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Signed to a two-year, $12 million contract last offseason, Everett opened the 2024 campaign in a timeshare with Cole Kmet but didn't keep the role for long. Kmet was back in his familiar role as a near-every-down player by the end of September, leaving Everett as the No. 2 tight end in an offense dominated by three-wide sets. Everett finished the season with eight catches for 36 yards on 13 targets, ending a five-year streak of more than 400 receiving yards. He'll turn 31 in June and figures to settle for a smaller contract this offseason.

The Bears turn attention to their coaching search after finishing 5-12

The Chicago Bears ended a 10-game losing streak with a rare win at Green Bay
JANUARY 7, 2025 • Associated Press
Ends forgettable season Everett played three snaps in the Bears' 24-22 win over the Packers on Sunday.
Impact Before the season, Everett signed a two-year, $12 million contract with the Bears. The signing was interesting because Chicago already had Cole Kmet on a long-term deal. Everett came into this year having posted at least 408 yards in five straight seasons. Playing with the Bears, the veteran caught eight of 13 targets for 31 yards. Unless Kmet misses time, it seems unlikely that there is a path to meaningful production as Everett enters the last year of his contract with Chicago.
JANUARY 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
One grab in loss Everett hauled in a six-yard pass in the Bears' 34-17 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Impact Everett received his first target in seven games. With eight catches for 36 yards on the season, the veteran is not a reliable fantasy option.
DECEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Continues to cede snaps to Kmet Everett went without a target while playing eight of the Bears' 53 snaps on offense in Sunday's 38-13 loss to the 49ers.
Impact For the fourth game in a row, Everett's snap count sat in the single digits while starter Cole Kmet (49) continued to dominate the playing time at tight end. Everett's familiarity with offensive coordinator Shane Waldron from their time together in 2021 with Seattle likely played a part in Everett seeing a more sizable role earlier in the season, but with Waldron having since been fired, the 30-year-old's snaps will likely remain limited down the stretch.

Bears fire coach Matt Eberflus after skid marked by poor decisions late in games

Matt Eberflus has been fired by the Chicago Bears, one day after botching a timeout in a loss to Detroit
NOVEMBER 29, 2024 • Associated Press
One target in losing effort Everett caught one pass for five yards in the Bears' 29-9 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.
Impact Everett has one game with more than five yards this season. Given the veteran's low-volume role in the offense, Everett has very little fantasy value at this time.
NOVEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Targeted twice in defeat Everett caught one pass for three yards in the Bears' 18-15 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.
Impact Everett has caught six passes for 25 yards in seven games this season. Unless the tight end's role changes significantly, it will be tough for Everett to pile up strong fantasy numbers.
OCTOBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Targeted twice in defeat Everett caught one pass for three yards in the Bears' 18-15 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.
Impact Everett has caught six passes for 25 yards in seven games this season. Unless the tight end's role changes significantly, it will be tough for Everett to pile up strong fantasy numbers.
OCTOBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Best game of season Everett caught two passes for 22 yards in the Bears' 36-10 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Impact Everett came into this contest having caught three passes for zero yards, so his 22-yard performance may not be a sign of things to come. As the second tight end, behind Cole Kmet, Everett could have a game with no catches at any time unless his role in the offense changes.
OCTOBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Blanked in defeat Everett failed to corral his lone target in the Bears' 21-16 loss to the Colts on Sunday.
Impact Through three games, Everett has caught three passes for zero yards on five targets. Unless his role significantly changes, the tight end will retain minimal fantasy value.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Three targets in loss Everett caught two passes for one yard in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Impact After playing more snaps than teammate Cole Kmet in Week 1, Everett was scaled back to a 36 percent snap share in Week 2. On the season, Everett has three catches for zero yards. Everett's lack of yardage per catch makes him difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.
SEPTEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Three targets in loss Everett caught two passes for one yard in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Impact After playing more snaps than teammate Cole Kmet in Week 1, Everett was scaled back to a 36 percent snap share in Week 2. On the season, Everett has three catches for zero yards. Everett's lack of yardage per catch makes him difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.
SEPTEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Hauls in lone target Everett lost one yard on one reception in the Bears' 24-17 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Impact Everett matched fellow tight end Cole Kmet with a single target while Caleb Williams was attempting 29 passes. Until the tight end sees a consistent increase in opportunity, his fantasy value may be minimal.
SEPTEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Targeted four times Everett caught two of four targets for 10 yards in Saturday's preseason win over the Bengals.
Impact Everett got a lot of playing time on the first-team offense for a second straight week, including as the lone tight end in three-wide formations. Everett's usage has led to concern about Cole Kmet failing to match his near-every-down role from the past three season, but even if that happens, it's unlikely Everett would get enough snaps/routes to achieve mainstream fantasy utility of his own.
AUGUST 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Activated off NFI list The Bears activated Everett (undisclosed) off the active/non-football injury list Sunday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Everett landed on the NFI list Friday due to an undisclosed issue, but the matter was apparently minor, as he's coming off the list two days later. With his activation, the veteran will be eligible to practice with the team. Everett is slated to work as the Bears' backup at tight end behind Cole Kmet this season.

Bears Move Tight End Gerald Everett to Non-Football Injury List Former Chargers tight end Gerald Everett is unavailable for the start of training camp and the Bears have a few other injury concerns.
JULY 19, 2024 • SI.COM
Lands on NFI list The Bears placed Everett (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list Friday, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports.
Impact Everett suffered a knee issue Week 18 last season with the Chargers, but placement on the NFI list is an indication that his current injury is unrelated. He's eligible to be activated t at any point this summer. Everett figures to work behind Cole Kmet for Chicago this season, and with a trio of notable wideouts atop the depth chart in DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze, it's difficult to imagine much receiving work will be left over for the No. 2 tight end. After exceeding the 400-yard mark for the past fives seasons, it wouldn't be surprising if Everett's production as a pass-catcher declines during the 2024 season.
