Chicago Bears enhance offense with new receiver signings
The Chicago Bears are busy in free agency as they try to improve their offense. New head coach Ben Johnson is looking to add talented players. They have signed receiver Olamide Zaccheaus and are exploring more options. On Monday, the Bears hosted Rondale Moore, a former second-round draft pick. He has shown speed but has struggled with injuries. The team is also considering another receiver, Mecole Hardman, who visited on the same day. Hardman has played with Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City but is now looking for new opportunities. Mecole Hardman was drafted by the Chiefs in 2019 and had a strong start to his career. He earned a Pro Bowl nomination as a rookie. However, his performance has declined in recent seasons. Last year, he played briefly with the New York Jets before returning to the Chiefs, where he had limited success. Despite Hardman's recent struggles, he has won three Super Bowl rings, which could influence contract talks. The Bears have key receivers like DJ Moore and Rome Odunze but are still figuring out their depth chart. Signing Zaccheaus was part of this effort. The Bears want to make sure they have strong options behind their top receivers. Hardman's experience and championship background could be valuable. He needs to impress the Bears to secure a spot on the team, adding competition for the third receiver role.
