Sun, 24 Mar 2013 11:48:08 -0700 The Miami Dolphins had interest in signing Chicago Bears TE Martellus Bennett but did not offer more than what Bennett got from the Bears.

Tue, 12 Mar 2013 13:00:07 -0700 The Chicago Bears will sign TE Martellus Bennett (Giants) Tuesday, Mar. 12. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

He's a good blocker, he's a good underneath route runner, he's big so he can catch the ball. I think, more than anything, getting his confidence back and getting a fresh start will do a lot for his career. Definitely a lot of upside."
