3 Chicago Bears who are playing their way off the roster

Tuesday morning, the Chicago Bears began making the changes which head coach Matt Eberflus had referred to on Monday.

The team announced they had fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron after failing to score a touchdown each of the last two weeks and watching the offense, as a whole, continue a season of downright incompetence.

As Bears fans know to be true, the Waldron firing isn't the only thing that needs to happen in Chicago; but that's a story for later.

This season, we've seen some players not put forth the type of effort warranted for keeping their jobs. Which players could see themselves out of a job in Chicago by next year?

The Bears could be without these three individuals by the start of the 2025 season

Coleman Shelton, C

It doesn't take long for anybody to notice just how bad Coleman Shelton has been this season. There have been countless snaps where Shelton is either blown up or blown by almost immediately after getting the ball into Caleb Williams' hands.

More Bears news:

He's been the sole reason why Williams has seen an abundance of pressure from right down the middle of the line. Shelton was always going to be more of a Band-Aid, but that now looks like a generous take. He doesn't deserve to be starting in this league and is a severe liability.

Tyrique Stevenson, CB

When you have Jaylon Johnson publicly stating he believes there are some players who want it more than others, just a couple of weeks after watching what Tyrique Stevenson did against the Washington Commanders ... "say less," as the kids love to say these days.

Stevenson has had some great moments and even some real, strong games. But, his problem is inconsistency and immaturity. He takes too many gambles. He's caught loafing at the wrong times. While he's amassed seven pass breakups, Stevenson hasn't had an interception since Week 1 and is allowing more than 14 yards per reception this season.

Terell Smith has actually looked fantastic when he's had opportunities. If the Bears want to send a message and stick with players who want to give it 100 percent, every day, then trading Stevenson this offseason might be a plausible route.

Larry Borom, T

Even after Year 3, Larry Borom looked like a backup swing tackle at best. But, in his fourth year, Borom has continued to prove that he just might not be cut out for meaningful snaps in the NFL, even as a reserve.

He's been abysmal in run blocking, which is the one area Chicago has always been known for. If you can't help this team maintain an identity on the ground, you're as good as gone. Borom won't be back next season.
