Bears' Dion Sims: Officially sent packing
Dion Sims was officially released by the Chicago Bears on Thursday, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.This was the clear way to go for Chicago given the $6 million in cap relief Sims' release provides -- not to mention the significantly underwhelming return on investment he provided when healthy. There could be a modest market for his services somewhere out there this offseason for teams in need of blocking from the tight end position.

Dion Sims: Release imminent
The Bears intend to release Dion Sims in the near future, Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reports.This is an obvious decision since Sims' release saves Chicago $6 million in cap space with less than $400,000 in dead money. After an unproductive 2018 campaign in which he caught just two of four targets for nine yards in eight games, Sims probably won't be in store for a lucrative contract this offseason. His aptitude as a blocker might be enough for him to garner interest somewhere else as a reserve tight end.
