For Bears tight end Evan Rodriguez, strike two turned out to be strike three.

With Tony Fiammetta now in the fold, the Bears will cut Rodriguez, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune.

Rodriguez has been arrested twice this offseason, most recently for DUI. While that may not be enough to get a more critical member of the franchise cut, Rodriguez falls in the band of replaceable players about whom an example can be made.

This one can’t be blamed on Jerry Angelo. Rodriguez was a fourth-round pick by G.M. Phil Emery in 2012.
