Bears General Manager Ryan Pace oversaw his first draft in Chicago in 2015 and added six players to the Bears roster.
On Wednesday, the team parted ways with one of those players. The Bears announced that tackle Tayo Fabuluje has been placed on waivers, making him the first player picked by Pace to be dropped by the team.
Fabuluje was a sixth-round pick in 2015 after playing his college ball at TCU. He appeared in four games for the team and also served a four-game suspension for violating the league’s performance-enhancing drug policy.
The Bears added several offensive linemen to the roster this offseason, including Bobby Massie, Cody Whitehair, Ted Larsen and Manny Ramirez. There aren’t many spots on the depth chart up for grabs with three starters back from last year, but the competition is a bit thinner with Fabuluje out of the picture.
