Bears have re-signed a receiver

The Bears have officially signed WR Equanimeous St. Brown to a 1-year contract extension.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the deal is worth around $1.25 million. It's a fair raise from the $965,000 he earned for this season.

St. Brown was signed this last offseason after spending the past three seasons with the Green Bay Packers. He and other receivers signed in a plug-and-play situation while the team awaited additional cap space to chase blue-chip receivers.

The fourth-year receiver has played in 15 games for the Bears this season, recording 20 catches, 320 yards, and one touchdown. His run blocking has also been an influential part of his game for the Bears this season.


The 6-foot-5 receiver has the team's third-most receiving yards and the fifth-most targets this year. He is a good depth piece, but more considerable investments should be made later in the off-season at the receiver position.
