Chicago Bears plan to waive undrafted guard Caden Barnett

The Chicago Bears are expected to part ways with undrafted free agent guard Caden Barnett as the team manages its final roster cuts. Barnett, who played at Wyoming, worked primarily as a right guard throughout the summer training camp. The team has opted to favor other interior linemen, specifically Jordan McFadden and Luke Newman, who are projected to secure spots on the active roster. Barnett received $277,500 in guaranteed money upon signing with the organization. Despite the expected release, the team reportedly intends to re-sign him to the practice squad once he clears waivers.
