Bears Trade TE Adam Shaheen to Dolphins for Conditional 2021 7th-Round Pick

The Miami Dolphins announced Sunday they have acquired 25-year-old Adam Shaheen from the Chicago Bears for a conditional seventh-round pick in 2021.

In 27 career games, Shaheen recorded 26 receptions on 33 targets for 249 yards and four touchdowns. He made seven starts for the Bears in 2017 after the club drafted him No. 45 overall that year out of Ashland University.

Shaheen joins a Dolphins position group that already features Mike Gesicki, Durham Smythe, Chandler Cox and Michael Roberts.

The Bears went searching for a new tight end this offseason, signing Jimmy Graham to a two-year, $16 million deal and drafting Notre Dame product Cole Kmet with its first pick in the NFL draft (No. 43 overall), leaving the team with a bit of a logjam on the roster.

Chicago will still have seven tight ends on its roster after the deal. The Bears are also still carrying Demetrius Harris, J.P. Holtz, Jesper Horsted and Eric Saubert after previously cutting Trey Burton earlier in April two years into a four-year contract.
