ANALYSIS
Whitehair's exit will create $9 million in cap space for Chicago while letting go of one of their longest-tenured players. The 31-year-old started 118 games for the team since being selected in the second round of the 2016 Draft out of Kansas State, including a 2018 Pro Bowl appearance.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Looking for new home after release
Whitehair was released by the Bears on Thursday after eight seasons with the team, Courtney Cronin of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Whitehair and safety Eddie Jackson were the only two remaining players drafted by the Bears' previous front office, and each got their pink slip Thursday. The veteran lineman has versatility, playing center and left guard effectively, which should enable him to find some interest now that he's on the open market.

2021
Whitehair has been very durable, as he's missed just two games in his six years with the Bears. He's been reliable as both a run and pass blocker, and he should remain a consistent player on an offensive line that's hoping to show improvement from last year.
