3 wide receivers the Chicago Bears can trade for right now

The Chicago Bears could trade for wide receiver Tyler Johnson
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are yet again in position to compete for a Super Bowl this year, behind the arm of Tom Brady and an impressive arsenal of weapons. With Chris Godwin returning from injury, Brady has his top two guys back between he and Mike Evans.
But, the Bucs also went out and signed Russell Gage and brought in Julio Jones. Behind those four receivers, there are three others: Scotty Miller, Tyler Johnson and Jaelon Darden.
It appears as though Johnson could be the one in danger of getting cut, or at least dangled out there as trade bait. Johnson is a former standout with the Minnesota Golden Gophers and had a lot of hope behind him coming into the league.
However, he hasn’t quite panned out and seems to have lost favor with Brady. In two seasons, Johnson has caught just 48 passes for 529 yards and two touchdowns.
Johnson is a 6-foot-1 wide receiver, so he has some solid size to him. He excels in winning jump balls and uses his strength to do so. He is a big, strong receiver who would be an excellent target for Fields in this offense. If he is indeed available, the Bears should try to offer a late, conditional pick and see if they can land him.
