According to the NFL Network, tight end Martellus Bennett has agreed to terms with the Chicago Bears.
Coach Marc Trestman struck fast, getting an athletic and versatile tight end for his multiple offense.
Bennett was buried behind Jason Witten in Dallas before going to the New York Giants in 2012.
Bennett displayed enough to become one of the top free agent tight ends on the market. In 2012, he had 55 receptions for 626 yards and 5 touchdowns.
