Wide Receivers The Bears Should Acquire

Yesterday I posted a article called "Free Agents The Bears Should Acquire this Off-Season" and I posted a poll along with that article. "What is the Bears #1 position that needs to be filled?" Wide Receiver was chosen the most. So I decided to make a full list of the best receivers that are most likely going to free agents this off-season and that the Bears need to take a very long look at and finally acquire a #1 receiver that Chicago (Especially Jay Cutler) desperately want. Why? Because #Cuttydoesit.

(Once again I am not saying that any of these guys will be guaranteed free agents. There is still a possibility that there current team will resign them.}

Vincent Jackson: I know I already had this guy in the original list but hey this guy is pretty much the most realistic #1 receiver that Jerry Angelo will most likely sign. Vincent Jackson is tall and Cutler and the Bears fans are going to let that be told. He will be the best tallest receiver in the free agency and off the top of my head I can't think of one WR thats taller then 6'5. Signing Vincent Jackson is a strong possibility and Ill give it a 60% possibility.

Dwayne Bowe: I for some reason received about 2 comments as of present that say that Bowe will possibly not be resign. I do not know where they get this from but I thought it would cool to add him to this list. Dwayne Bowe is a amazing receiver. He has a little bit of everything. Great Catcher, Tall, Fast, and has a total of 4,587 yards receiving in only 5 years. Bowe will most likely want a pretty big contract that the Bears wont give out. Ill give him a 1% chance of him coming to Chicago.

Brandon Marshall: I do know that Marshall contract isnt ending this year but Jay Cutler has history with him when they were on the Denver Broncos together Jay Cutler threw for his one and only 4,000 yard season and that was thanks to Brandon Marshall. Since 2007 Brandon Marshall has had 1,000 yard seasons every year and this is something the Bears need and also Cutler. The Bears could trade for Marshall by trading Lance Briggs, Johnny Knox, & a couple or few draft picks to the Miami Dolphins for Brandon Marshall, Koa Misi, & Nate Garner. Ill give this trade a 38% possibility.

DeSean Jackson: Jackson is noticibly unhappy. On Thursday Night Football Jackson was jogging his routes and also caught on the sidelines not talking to anyone and with a blank look on his face. I can almost guarantee DeSean Jackson wont be a Eagle next year. Now to get to him becoming a Bear. Devin Hester gets injured a lot and it seems he gets hurt every game. DeSean can come into help out the Kick Returning that the Bears need desperately because Johnny Knox is nothing like Jackson or Hester because all he is, is speed and doesn't really do any of them fancy moves that Hester and Jackson do that usually result in 7 points. Also Jackson isn't just speed he is also a good Wide Receiver. Jackson's past two seasons he's had 1,000 yard seasons and with them two seasons combined total of 109 receptions. Hes definitely worth a $45 Million contract.(Devin Hester has a near $41 Million contract.) Ill give him a 40% chance of coming to the Bears.

Thanks for reading and like always comment below and let me know what you think. Also if you can think of any other WRs the Bears should trade or sign for just comment them below.

definitely should sign vincent jackson

He’s the #1 this offense needs. Earl Bennett (just signed for 4 more years) then becomes an excellent #2 WR. Gives Jay 1 more option in the passing game and then opponents can’t put 8 in the box to stop the run. Sign Jackson in FA and this offense should be top 5-10 in the NFL.

Im glad to see you so excited as a new poster. Im expecting like 3 posts from you a day from now on!

But no really, Id rather see us sign Robert Meachem for a lesser price and draft a wide reciever like Nick Toon or Dwight Jones.

Wouldnt it be funny if we had another DE with the last name Salters!

by fortefan09 on Dec 2, 2011 5:40 PM CST reply actions  

Robert Meachem would be a good choice for maybe a #2 WR but not a #1 Receiver.

If the Bears do want a reasonable priced #1 Receiver I would say Pierre Garcon. I would prefer for him to be a #2 Receiver but he isn’t that bad of receiver and is better then any of the other receivers the Bears have now except for maybe Earl Bennett.
I just love talking about football. Ive posted a article each day. I have fun writing and I know people love reading about football. I plan on submitting a article each day until someone from WCG says stop or football some how didn’t exist anymore. By the way im 17 I only go to school and I don’t have a job because no one will hire a inexperienced minor. But I do want to write about sports for a living when I get older so I’m hoping that this will help me work up to bigger things.

The best advice I can give you...

if you do want to pursue a career in journalism, it to just write as much as you possibly can…and read as much as you possibly can. You will develop a voice and a style over time. Seek out opportunities to study the craft of journalism, it will help you to focus your writing.

If Jackson gets released by the Eagles

Bears need to sign him as soon as he hits the market. He’s a 100x’s better version than the WRs they already have. A huge upgrade. And he’ll have a chip on his shoulder after being slighted by the Eagles.

The Eagles held him out of a game for missing a special teams meeting

and the next week he flipped the ball to Perry Fewell. The Eagles are not getting through to him, and while that doesn’t mean the Bears can’t, I don’t think he’s worth the risk.

I’m not entirely against receivers who bring some personality to the game, or even demand the spot light with various antics. I think TO was a hell of a competitor first, and a showman second. DeSean Jackson needs to get in the endzone (with the ball) before he pulls any stunts. Jackson is more like Randy Moss, except not as talented, and more annoying.

DeSean Jackson also is an injury risk. He’s a real, bonafide talent, an improvement over every receiver on the team, but he has a lot of red flags, and I’d just as soon see him fizzle out on some other team (say the Vikings).

Often Wrong, Never In Doubt.

by Gromowicz on Dec 4, 2011 12:25 AM CST up reply actions  

Problem is

All those dudes have MAJOR issues – VJax is the most reliable of the group, and he goes from the amazing (Bears game) to the horrible (the game before and after that) and is willing to put dollars before playing. The other 3 are attitude problems – Bowe’s alligator arms and clashes with coaches are why he may not be resigned, DeSean is pouting himself into a franchise tag since Philly doesn’t know what to do with him, and Marshall’s bipolar… literally. They’re all talented, and I’d rather have Vinny Jax if I had to choose, but I’d bet we get no closer than sniffing around these guys (if they’re even available).

If its free, take two.

by T.J. Shouse on Dec 2, 2011 7:54 PM CST reply actions  

I do agree but

im counting on the Bears veteranship to kick whoever they sign out of that attitude they have. I am pretty sure DeSean Jackson’s attitude and poor playing is due to his frustration. The Eagles gave a lot of guys big money contract’s while the most active Offensive player is left standing there on the final year of his rookie contract. Im pretty sure he would get treated right in Chicago and he would make friends on there team. I do think he will most likely go to a California team because he is from there but out of anyone on this list I hope this guy comes to Chicago. Because of how versatile he is with the help on Special Teams and could become the new #1 Receiver.

by DaBears33 on Dec 2, 2011 9:58 PM CST reply actions  

DeSean Jackson is unrestricted, Dwayne Bowe is unrestricted, and Vincent Jackson is going to be unrestricted. Jerry Angelo is unpredictable if it was a more gutsy guy then the percentage would be higher

He isn't anything like Johnny Knox.

I personally do not like Johnny Knox. He does nothing special when it comes to special teams. All he does is run and maybe does a spin. At least Jackson and Hester drop back and actually think before they take holes which is why they are such great returners. Jackson is a better receiver then Knox and he does have the abilities of becoming a #1 receiver.

by DaBears33 on Dec 3, 2011 11:40 PM CST up reply actions  

Bro, you are talking about a 5th round pick compared to a 2nd.

And all I see is Knox getting better and Jackson becoming more and more like a mini T.O.

Wouldnt it be funny if we had another DE with the last name Salters!

I just don't see DJackson as a #1 WR

so no thanks.

The other three, in order of preference:
VJackson, Bowe, and Marshall, but I would be excited with any of them.

This...

He’s fast. I’ll give him that. But so are Devin and Johnny. He has the potential to be a great receiver. He also has the potential to blow up in his teams face.

Jackson Two

Vincent Jackson would be a great pick up to team with Cutler, and he’s the one guy on the list I’d go hard after. DeSean Jackson has one of the lowest catch rates among wideouts, and his yards per catch this season is a pedestrian 16.2 yards. He’s certainly not worth a mega-deal and he sure looks like a locker room cancer.

Did he get an extension and I miss it?

I think there is a pretty good chance he re-signs but still. The dude has great hands, great size, great production and is a legit #1 WR.

Vincent Jackson would be my top choice

And all but two of those players would be great players to add. The two I’m not so high on; Brandon Marshall, and DeSean Jackson.

Brandon Marshall has not been very productive, at all. He also has dropped a good amount of passes, especially TD passes. Just how exactly would he be an upgrade over REW? Similar speed, similar attitudes, and similar cases of the drops.

DeSean Jackson has been all about him in Philly. He has lost complete interest in playing for his team. Its all about the $$$ with him, and until he gets payed he won’t play. He also is a horrific blocker downfield and in all honesty is an over-hyped version of Johnny Knox. All speed, no dedication to excellence.

Oh, and I know I'm not the 1st to say this

But a WR that seriously needs to be added to the list is Marques Colston. Fast and physical off the LOS, topped off with discipilined route running as well as some of the best hands in the NFL.

this article was originally posted because in the article previous to this was asking “What is the Bears #1 Position that needs to be filled?” and WR was chosen the most. Actually as of right now 46% out of 179 votes people chose WR. 36% was O-Line. Check it out.
