The Facts:
The Bears have released Spaeth, according to a league source.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Bears were looking to shed some salary after landing Martellus Bennett. Spaeth and fellow tight end Kellen Davis were obvious candidates to be released after Bennett received a sizeable four-year contract. Davis was also released. ... Before signing with the Bears, Spaeth had a productive run with the Pittsburgh Steelers where he helped the franchise reach two Super Bowls. A return to Pittsburgh for Spaeth is not out the question, a league source told ESPN's Jeff Dickerson, who added that while Bennett is the unquestioned starter at tight end, the team envisions a larger role for 2012 fourth-round draft choice Evan Rodriguez, who spent his rookie season lining up at fullback. Rodriguez is expected to get an opportunity to be used more as a downfield threat in the passing game next season.
