BREAKING NEWS: Bears Trade Pitch Nets Team $60 Million WR for 4th-Round Pick

Regardless of who plays quarterback in 2024, the Chicago Bears will need a true No. 2 wide receiver and may be able to find one at a low cost by assisting a cash-strapped AFC squad.

The Los Angeles Chargers’ new leadership is in desperate need of pay cuts this offseason, and wide receiver Mike Williams is a likely target. On Monday, February 26, Maurice Moton of Bleacher Report proposed a trade in which the Bears give up a fourth-round pick (No. 111 overall) in exchange for a one-year contract with Williams in 2024.

Williams may be the most expendable because of the team’s wide receiver depth, his failure to stay healthy last season, and the $20 million cost reduction if he is acquired via trade.

As wide receiver Darnell Mooney prepares to enter free agency, the Chicago Bears require a No. 2 wideout to complement DJ Moore. If Williams is healthy, he can assault defences from the top and serve as the primary red-zone target for whoever starts at quarterback in Chicago next season. By the way, the Bears have an estimated $78.3 million in cap space. They can easily absorb Williams’ contract.
