One of the few remaining concerns for the Chicago Bears is a lack of proven depth at receiver. As things currently stand the team's top five options are expected to be Rome Odunze, Luther Burden, Kalif Raymond, Jahdae Walker, and rookie Zavion Thomas. Veteran pass catcher Scotty Miller has been brought in as well as a great speed option to put pressure on the opposing defense. Still, this is a group with a lot of question marks that coudl benefit from one final move to aid the competition and solidify the unit if injury were to strike.
With this in mind, Chicago is an ideal landing spot for Keon Coleman, with the Buffalo Bills already striking one trade with the Bears this offseason. DJ Moore was sent to the Bills and given a chance to be Josh Allen's primary target while Chicago looked to get younger at the position and have a bit more obvious primary targets for Caleb Williams.
This establishes a great relationship between the two teams and points to the fact that a potential deal could easily be struck. Coleman isn't expected to garner anything beyond a day-three pick and would be a great wildcard option to throw into Chicago's current depth chart competition.
Adding Keon Coleman could be the final move that completes Chicago's receiver room
If there is anyone capable of rebuilding the confidence of Coleman and putting the receiver's career back on track it is Ben Johnson. The franchise could find a potentially valued contributor for the price of a draft pick that is already often viewed as nothing short of a lottery ticket. For the Bears, the move makes a great deal of sense with the potential benefits outweighing the cost.
It makes sense from Buffalo's perspective as well with the team able to send Coleman out of the AFC and far away from having any negative impact against their franchise if the pass catcher was able to turn things around.
The Bears simply don't have an obvious downside to the move with the receiver offering clear potential and doing so at an incredibly low risk. While expectations remain high for the trio of Miller, Walker, and Thomas none have a resume that offers clear reassurance that Chicago's depth chart at the position is in great hands.
Bringing in Coleman simply is a level of insurance that cannot hurt when you consider the incredibly low cost. The move makes sense for both sides and should be explored over the next weeks of the 2026 offseason.
