Regarding what the Bears will do with the first overall pick, it appears that the writing is on the wall. Though few pundits and insiders disagree that Chicago will select quarterback Caleb Williams, the Bears will still need to add wide receiver depth this offseason even if Justin Fields stays on as the starting quarterback.
In his debut season with the Bears, DJ Moore had a stellar year, setting career highs in receiving yards (1,364), catches (96), and touchdowns (8). If the Bears decide not to re-sign him, they will be looking to partner him with a vertical threat downfield who can potentially replace the vacuum left by Darnell Mooney. Alongside Tyler Scott and
Following four seasons in the Buffalo Bills organization, wide receiver Gabriel Davis is preparing to explore his free agency options. Davis, who stands 6’2″ and weighs 225 pounds, would provide the Bears with a dependable large target to complement DJ Moore. Although Davis isn’t a WR1, by any means, Moore would benefit from his ability. His 1,629 career snaps of lined up wide and 443 career snaps in the slot align with the needs of the Bears offense. In 17 games in 2023, Davis ended up with 45 receptions for 746 yards and 7 touchdowns. In 2022, he had his greatest season with 48 receptions for 836 yards and 7 touchdowns. Throughout his career, he has averaged 42.7 yards per game.
Davis is a smooth blend of talent, strength and durability. He has played in 64 games (47 starts) for the Bills over his four years with the team and has never missed more than two games in one season. He has also proven himself to be clutch in big matchups. Davis missed the playoffs after the 2023 season due to injury, but he made his mark in previous postseasons, hauling in six touchdowns in seven career playoff games. Spotrac has his market value projected at $13.6 million per season, which the Bears can afford.
