Jaguars | Sign Fendi Onobun Thu Aug 7, 02:43 PM
The Jacksonville Jaguars signed TE Fendi Onobun (Bears) Thursday, Aug. 7. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: We don't expect anything from Onobun and neither should you. It seems like the tight end position in Jacksonville has never produced, certainly not consistently. |

Bears | Cut Fendi Onobun Thu Jun 19, 03:18 PM
The Chicago Bears have informed TE Fendi Onobun that he will be released.
| Footballguys view: They don't need the depth at tight end and Onobun didn't bring much to the table aside from blocking. The former basketball player has failed to play up to his potential as a pro. |

Bears | 11 signed to futures contracts Mon Dec 30, 05:23 PM

Wilson, OT Rogers Gaines, SS Sean Cattouse, WR Terrence Toliver, DT Tracy Robertson and TE Zachary Miller to futures contracts. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Deep dynasty league owners should have a few of these players on the radar. We like the upside of a guy like Toliver in that type of league. He's got an intriguing size/speed combination, and he's been working hard to improve his hands and route running ability. |

| Footballguys view: Lockette is an interesting speedster to monitor in super deep dynasty leagues. He can get on top of the defense in a hurry and track the ball over his shoulder. |

| Footballguys view: Allen and Unga lose out on a backup RB role with the Bears. Fantasy owners need to remember the name Michael Ford as he's now the RB3 in Chicago behind Matt Forte and Michael Bush. The rookie from LSU is a talented runner who loves to punish defenders. |

Bears | Fendi Onobun to get chance Tue Jul 23, 11:17 AM
The Chicago Bears coaching staff is excited to see what TE Fendi Onobun can do in training camp and the preseason after a strong offseason performance.
| Footballguys view: Onobun is a former basketball star who has been trying to make his way at the pro level. It sounds like he's past the maturity issues that plagued him during his time with the Rams. Onobun will be a backup TE behind Martellus Bennett. |

Bears | TE depth chart open Wed May 22, 09:38 AM
The Chicago Bears' depth chart at tight end after TE Martellus Bennett is wide open. TE Fendi Onobun could seize an opportunity for playing time.
| Footballguys view: Onobun is a converted basketball player who never lived up to the hype during his time with the Rams. After he was waived by the Rams in 2011 Onobun bounced around to four different teams (Seahawks, Redskins, Jaguars, Bills) before finding a spot with the Bears this year. He's incredibly athletic but attitude, work ethic and maturity problems have held him back. If he impresses the coaching staff he could win the backup job behind Bennett. |

The St. Louis Rams have released RBs Keith Toston and Chase Reynolds, TE Fendi Onobun, OL Renardo Foster, LB Zac Diles and S Jonathan Nelson.
| Footballguys view: Onobun failed to impress as a 'basketball to football' TE, but is extremely athletic and may get a look from another team. However, work ethic and attitude problems held him back in St. Louis. He'll have to mature in order to play up to his potential. Toston had some decent runs in the preseason, but with the addition of Cadillac Williams and Jerious Norwood the team didn't have any room for him. |

Rams | TEs Bajema or Onobun on hot seat? Sun May 8, 07:03 PM
Cecil Lammey, NFL Insider for FRSN and senior writer at Footballguys.com, reports via Twitter that sources tell him the addition of TE Lance Kendricks could push either Billy Bajema or Fendi Onobun off the roster.
| Footballguys view: Bajema is a consistent veteran who provides the team with quality depth. Onobun (the former basketball star) has higher upside, but work ethic questions and injuries have held back his young pro career. |

| Footballguys view: Onobun is an intriguing prospect and could be one of the next basketball to football stars at the Tight End position. However, he'll have to stay healthy and make sure he shows proper work ethic if he's going to make it in the NFL. |
