The Baltimore Ravens have stolen blocking tight end Durham Smythe from the Chicago Bears and signed him to a deal, per Yahoo Sports. This news comes after free agent tight end Charlie Kolar's departure to the Los Angeles Chargers, and Smythe is expected to fill Kolar's role as a blocking tight end.
On the surface, losing Smythe might not seem like that serious a hit to the Bears. However, when you break down Smythe's crucial role in the Bears blocking scheme, his loss will most definitely make the Bears run game a lot weaker.
