3. The Bears have a need for a speedy receiver to replace Gabriel
Like Amuakmara, Gabriel’s release from the Bears had to do with his salary cap hit of $4.5 million in 2020. But it also helps that Chicago has a slew of young talent at the receiver position, which made this an easier decision for Pace.
With Gabriel’s release, the Bears now have a need for a speedy receiver to add to that group. Chicago can certainly find a younger and cheaper option in free agency or the NFL Draft, which features several speedy receivers the Bears could target with one of their projected eight draft selections.
