BREAKING: Bears have set new offensive coordinator Shane Waldron up with a sweet situation.
The Chicago Bears have provided new offensive coordinator Shane Waldron with an ideal circumstance. He’ll have two true #1 wide receivers to play with: D.J. Moore and Keenan Allen. They added Rome Odunze, the 9th overall choice, for extra flavor.
Then he’ll have quality tight end Cole Kmet and fast running back D’Andre Swift to provide even more possibilities. Even middling coordinators should have little trouble generating yards and points with this squad.
Waldron should consider himself fortunate. Most in his position have never had this much money in contemporary Bears history.
However, Bradley Locker of Pro Football Focus believes people might be overlooking another chess piece on the board, one the Bears are keeping quiet ahead of the season. He noticed it during joint practice with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Shane Waldron knows exactly what Everett can do.
They were together for five years, from 2017 until 2021. Waldron served as his coordinator in Seattle in 2021. Everett had his greatest season that year, totaling 478 yards and four touchdowns. He understands how to take advantage of the tight end’s particular adaptability, setting him up in a variety of formations. It causes matchup issues for the defense, which will be preoccupied with Moore, Allen, Kmet, and the other players.
If you get Everett on a linebacker, that’s a mismatch. It is undoubtedly a big reason Shane Waldron lobbied the Bears to bring him in. Such a player may not get the media attention, but he always makes one or two plays each week that contribute to the team winning. Don’t be shocked to hear #14 pop up early and often.

He should be most dangerous on third-down plays and in the red zone, where he may line up in the backfield, line, or slot. His stature and athleticism provide alternatives.
