There will be no punter competition this offseason for the Chicago Bears, Alyssa Barbieri of USA Today's Bears Wire reports.

After drafting Tory Taylor in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL draft, the Bears have waived Trenton Gill, according to ESPN’s Field Yates.

The Bears drafted Gill in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL draft, which marked general manager Ryan Poles’ first draft class. Gill served as the team’s punter for the past two seasons, but he hit a bit of a sophomore slump.

Gill’s punt average did increase from his rookie season (by .1%), and he had some solid performances. His best game came against the Cardinals, where Gill averaged 52 yards per punt, including a career-long 76-yarder, and downed two punts inside the 20-yard line, which is something he struggled with at times. Gill had eight touchbacks on the season, which was up five from his rookie year. He downed 18 punts inside the 20-yard line on the year.
