7 years agoChicago Bears wide receiver Markus Wheaton, who was a free-agent bust, is expected to be released by the team this offseason. Kevin White is under contract and the Bears are expected to tender a contract to Cameron Meredith if he's recovered from a torn ACL. Wheaton couldn't stay healthy, battling injuries to his shoulder, appendix, finger and groin. He's also due $5 million, and the Bears are unlikely to want to pay that for a No. 3 receiver who hasn't produced in recent years. Even if he's healthy in 2018, there's no guarantee Wheaton will find another team and produce given an opportunity.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
