The Chicago Bears have released defensive end Jeremiah Attaochu, who becomes the latest salary cap casualty of the offseason for new general manager Ryan Poles.
Attaochu signed a two-year deal with Chicago last offseason. He appeared in just five games — totaling two tackles — before suffering a torn pectoral muscle in Week 5 against the Las Vegas Raiders that sidelined him for the remainder of the season.
Attaochu’s release doesn’t come as much of a surprise considering he wasn’t a huge fit for the Bears’ new defense under Matt Eberflus. Not to mention, Chicago saved some salary cap space in the process.
