The Chicago Bears are flush with cash as the 2023 offseason gets underway and they will be on the lookout to improve many of their positions after finishing last season with the worst record in the league. One position group of note is wide receiver, where questions still remain even after the Bears acquired Chase Claypool in a deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers last November.
Claypool and Darnell Mooney as of now are the top two weapons, with role players such as Equanimeous St. Brown and Velus Jones Jr. under contract. They could be in the market for another veteran receiver and that player may not be on the free agent radar yet.
Speculation about one of those players was in full force recently when it was reported that Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen could be moved due to his contract. Another veteran such as DeAndre Hopkins of the Arizona Cardinals has also been mentioned earlier this year as a potential trade or cut candidate for similar reasons.
But there are other veteran players who are candidates to be released due to cap concerns that could be appealing to the Bears that aren’t yet being talked about. Here are four other receivers who could become cap casualties that might interest the Bears.
