Report: Chicago Bears offer Martellus Bennett on trading block

The Chicago Bears have placed Martellus Bennett on the trading block, according to reports.

The tight end has been with the Illinois side since 2013 after penning a four-year deal, but it has been suggested that he is already keen on a new contract.

NFL Media reports that the Bears don't want to hand him an improved deal and are willing to part company with him if another side comes forward with a trade offer.

Bennett has scored 11 touchdowns for the Bears in 32 appearances.
