Who Will The Chicago Bears Sign To Replace Brandon Marshall?

Leonard Hankerson, Washington, Age 26

The Bears may want to go bargain shopping for receiver in free agency and make that slot a priority in the draft. If they do that, Leonard Hankerson may be their choice.

As with Torrey Smith, I had a write-up on Hankerson, out of Miami.

Hankerson had a LCL tear in his knee that cut down his 2013 season. He was ready to go in 2014, but head coach Jay Gruden could not fit him into the rotation, so he was de-activated and did not play much.

Hankerson could definitely be a bargain for the Bears. He is expected to fetch a two-year contract at less than $2 million per year, and if they can get him for that and he shows he is over his injury and plays well, then that would be a great situation for them.

Hankerson is another tall receiver, at 6-foot-2, so in that way he would fit with the Bears. I see the Bears kicking the tires on Hankerson.

If the Bears do sign Hankerson, they would need a speedster in the draft. At any rate, they may still need to pick up another receiver through the draft. The following players could be good pick ups.
