Chicago Bears TE Trey Burton will be released in the near future, according to a source.

Footballguys View: Things just didn’t work out with Burton, who the team signed in 2017 with the idea that he could flourish after being a backup with the Eagles. That never came to fruition due to injury and inconsistency. Burton is recovering from hip surgery and will have to prove he’s healthy before another team takes a chance on him.
