The Chicago Bears added some much-needed depth at wide receiver with the signing of Equanimeous St. Brown. St. Brown will reunite with former Green Bay Packers position coach and new Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy.
A former sixth-round pick, St. Brown 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.
Details of St. Brown’s contract have emerged, and it’s an affordable deal to add some depth at wide receiver. According to Pro Football Network’s Aaron Wilson, it’s a one-year deal worth $965,000 for St. Brown.

St. Brown was the first wide receiver the Bears signed in free agency, and he was joined shortly after by former Kansas City Chiefs wideout Byron Pringle. They join a wide receivers room featuring Darnell Mooney.
Still, 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 for quarterback Justin Fields.
