Potential wide receiver cuts the Chicago Bears should monitor

The Chicago Bears’ wide receiving corps has been laughable, at best, since the offseason officially started.

First-year general manager Ryan Poles came into the role and has acted with a patient, laid-back plan for his initial season with the team. Poles decided not to draft a wideout until Round 3, and didn’t add a big name free agent. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear as though that approach is going to work out well for his franchise quarterback.

Justin Fields has one legitimate wide receiver to work with in Darnell Mooney, but other than the third-year pro, there are a lot of unproven names he’s throwing to.

The rise of Equanimeous St. Brown has been nice to see in camp, and the relationship between he and Fields is encouraging. However, we still need to see St. Brown do something in the regular season before any of us get too confident. With rosters being cut down in the coming days, the Bears might actually have some decent options.

When NFL roster cuts get more serious in a few days, the Chicago Bears could have a plethora of wide receiver options.

Fortunately for the Bears, there are teams out there with an overflow of talent at wide receiver. It must be nice to have that luxury, because Fields is scraping by with leftovers.

If the Bears could upgrade their second, third, or fourth wide receiver spot with a potential cut from another team, then Poles has to do it. Velus Jones Jr. looks like he’ll be a fun weapon to deploy, but again, he’ll have to prove it as a rookie.

Byron Pringle is going to be out a while with an injury, as will N’Keal Harry, whom the Bears dealt for earlier this summer. From injuries to simply not having enough talent around the quarterback, the Bears should pay attention to the following three players as soon as cuts begin.
