Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy has recruited another player to Chicago. The Bears are signing wideout Equanimeous St. Brown, according to Jeff Howe of The Athletic (on Twitter). Brown agreed to join the Bears on a one-year deal, Howe tweets.

The 2018 sixth-round pick had spent his entire career in Green Bay, with Getsy serving as QBs coach during three of those four seasons. The receiver missed the entire 2019 season, but he otherwise appeared in at least 12 games during his three healthy seasons with the Packers. However, St. Brown hasn’t been able to match his rookie numbers (333 yards from scrimmage) in 2020 nor 2021.
This past season, St. Brown saw time in 13 games (two starts), collecting 112 yards from scrimmage on 12 touches. He also appeared in 34% of the Packers’ special teams snaps.
The Bears have been busy adding former Packers players, signing offensive lineman Lucas Patrick earlier this week.
Best of luck in Chicago.
Showed a lot of potential at ND. Could be sneaky good signing
Got excited for a second. Thought it was the St Brown from the Lions
I like St. Brown from his time at ND and we’ll have to see what his contract looks like but I feel like the Bears would have been better off just re-signing Grant.
They have to bring in talent around fields, if this is a special teams signing fine, if it’s a receiver signing fire poles
Never knew there were 2 of them
There’s 3 of them. Equanimeous, Osiris and Amon-Ra. I guess the other kids,Cloepatra and Ramses decided not to be wide receivers.
Indubitably the Equanimeous signing is unparalleled in regards to uniquely named individuals.
True, but the foundation of the Bears culture revolved around players with names like Bulldog (Turner) Buckets (Hirsch) and Bones (Weatherly).
