The Bears’ new regime has been busy at receiver this offseason, adding a host of veteran auxiliary options to what promises to be a Darnell Mooney-centered position group. They made another move Wednesday.
Tajae Sharpe agreed to terms on a one-year Chicago deal, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets. The Bears will be Sharpe’s fifth team, and he will rejoin ex-Chiefs teammate Byron Pringle on Chicago’s new-look receiver depth chart. The Bears hiring ex-Chiefs front office staffer Ryan Poles as GM likely provided a clearer route for Sharpe to Chicago.
A former Titans fifth-round pick back in 2016, Sharpe spent last season with the Falcons. The 6-foot-2 receiver caught 25 passes for 230 yards with Atlanta, which saw its receiving corps take a major hit from Calvin Ridley‘s midseason exit. Sharpe, 27, has bounced around since his Titans rookie contract expired in 2020. The Vikings and Chiefs brought him in that year, though he did not catch a pass for Minnesota and did not suit up for a game with Kansas City. The Chiefs stashed Sharpe on their practice squad to close out the 2020 season and re-signed him last year, but they cut bait shortly after the draft.
Allen Robinson left the Bears as a free agent, joining the Rams, and Poles has gone with a quantity-driven approach around Mooney this offseason. Pringle, Equanimeous St. Brown and David Moore joined the Bears as free agents. The team also used a third-round pick on Tennessee wideout Velus Jones.
What could the Bears possibly be thinking. Maybe they still have a plan to get another *decent* WR opposite Mooney, but it looks like they just don’t give a flying eff about Justin Fields. They must really really really want him to fail.
Quantity of quality approach. Stupid
The Bears are gonna be awful and Zach Wilson and Trevor Lawrence are now on a clock to prove they are franchise guys, whereas Fields gets a rookie year redo, it’s hard to watch this but is Jarvis Landry really gonna be what unlocks Fields potential? Unlikely
The Bears seem to have a personal vendetta against Justin Fields. That guy isn’t being given a fair shot to succeed at all.
we could’ve signed Julio or Landry, but we’ve decided to instead go with Tajae Sharp.
your welcome.
Georgie you really are stupid!! Sell the team.
You add no value. Give Poles a chance to clean up the crap left behind by Pace. Not saying it is going to work, but at least he has a plan if you can see it. I will try that any day over Pace.
The Bears should have kept Allen Robinson.
The 6-10 guys the Bears have signed to play that position collectively don’t equal one Allen Robinson.
