The Facts: Tonyan is leaving Green Bay but staying in the NFC North. Tonyan has agreed to a one-year deal with the Bears, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Diehards Line: As ESPN.com's Courtney Cronin suggests, this makes a ton of sense given Tonyan’s connection to Bears OC Luke Getsy, who was Green Bay’s passing game coordinator in 2020 during the tight end’s career year (52 catches, 586 yards, 11 TDs). Tonyan led tight end production in Green Bay last season and brings a 77.8 percent catch rate and a 10.5-yards-per-catch average to Chicago. The Bears needed another tight end to pair with Cole Kmet, and Tonyan is the second-best pass catcher Chicago has brought in this week in addition to D.J. Moore. Because of Tonyan’s rapport with Aaron Rodgers, some thought he might end up on the Jets. Instead, it’s the Bears who will sign Tonyan, and he’ll spend 2023 catching passes from Justin Fields.
