Chicago Bears waive offensive tackle Kiran Amegadjie after failed trade efforts

The Chicago Bears waived offensive tackle Kiran Amegadjie on Sunday following unsuccessful attempts to trade the lineman before the roster cutdown deadline. Amegadjie, a third-round selection in the 2024 NFL Draft, struggled with injuries throughout his rookie season and did not record a snap during the previous campaign. He entered training camp competing for a spot at left tackle alongside Braxton Jones, Theo Benedet, and Jedrick Wills, but failed to secure a permanent role on the roster. The team also released Jedrick Wills with an injury settlement earlier in the day. Despite the waiving, analysts suggest the 24-year-old remains a priority claim for teams seeking additional depth at the position.
