Bears to sign WR Equanimeous St. Brown

The Chicago Bears have made their first move at wide receiver, as they’re expected to sign former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown, according to Aaron Wilson.

A former sixth-round pick, St. Brown has spent his entire four-year career with the Packers. He’s served mostly as a depth option at wide receiver, which is what he figures to be in Chicago. St. Brown worked with Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy in Green Bay, so he has a good understanding of Getsy’s scheme.

In four seasons with the Packers, St. Brown has 37 receptions for 543 yards with one touchdown. Last season, he caught nine passes for 98 yards in 13 games.

St. Brown becomes the second former Packer to reunite with Getsy in Chicago joining offensive lineman Lucas Patrick, who signed a two-year, $8 million deal earlier this week.

St. Brown isn’t necessarily the big-name receiver Bears fans were hoping to hear about, but that doesn’t mean that’s not coming. There are still some intriguing options out there, including JuJu Smith-Schuster, Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham Jr.

Wide receiver remains a big need for the Bears heading into the second wave of free agency and the NFL draft, where they’re expected to target some young playmakers.
