Potential Wilson replacements have been underwhelming, so worth a shot IMO. If he can stay healthy (and out of trouble) he's just what they need.

Jeffery, Marshall, Wilson, Holmes, Williams, and Morgan is a decent group of WR's if the Bears keep 6. Williams should be the punt/kickoff returner when he gets back to full health. Hopefully that doesn't take too long. Weems will be cut.

Seems like a great signing. He is only 30 and played with horrible QB's since leaving Pittsburgh, so it is no wonder his numbers dropped.

This really is unbelievable and pretty much could not be any more contrarian to the last 100+ years of Bears Football and I love it. I just hope we find a capable second TE's and sucks that Miller is now on IR. Moreover, if this defense finds a way to gel and becomes respected once again - look out GB cause here comes the Chicago Bears! Bear Down!

Weems is gone to make room for Holmes.

 

Peace

 

I read somewhere it's more or less a two week tryout. With little to lose it's worth a shot but his attitude is my biggest concern. Unless he shines right out of the gate I think he'd be our 4th WR once Wilson returns. Will he be content sitting on the bench?

Makes sense. Since he doesn't play special teams, he pretty much has to solidify himself as the Bears #3 receiver, otherwise I don't see him being here long.

It all depends on Holmes, I personally think this is huge. Holmes in the slot with the two giants will be hard to cover. He has to be hungry and Chicago is a great stage to perform on.

Why do I get this feeling Bennett is going to get into another scuffle?

Ha!

This maybe a great pick up if he is hungry and has his head on right. Not only can he be a good #3 WR....but he can return punts/kick too if we we give him a chance.

 

 

Might be wishful thinking on the returning side of things....He hasn't been a full time returner since 07.

 

I do think he can be a quality #3 though...If he makes the team.

well it cant hurt......... Holmes immediately gets a genuine look at the No. 3 wide receiver position. But he does not project to solve the Bears’ problems in the return game, perhaps an indication that they expect the return of Chris Williams from his hamstring strain sooner rather than later. Holmes has not returned a kickoff since his rookie season (2006) and hasn’t returned a punt since 2012, and then only six combined over 2009-10.Your facts are a little off...we don't need him as a full timer returner.

Maybe, maybe not…

Like the move but we have to see if he has any burst to create space and get open. Hopefully playing with two of the games best wide-outs in a good offense will help motivate him cause we could really use a 3rd wideout until Wilson comes back.

''You know, Santonio was here, probably had signed his contract and 60 minutes later he was on the field with Jay, and throwing routes,'' Bears offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer said.

 

''It looks good,'' Cutler said. ''He's explosive. He'd probably to be honest - he's a little bit rusty. He's been out of football.

 

''But getting in and out of cuts, catches the ball well, extremely explosive, fast. He's exciting. We've just got to get him caught up with everything right now. It's hard coming in where we are offensively and just kind of throwing him into the mix.''

 

That is crazy if true, an hour after inking a deal, he is out practicing. Nice to see that he has some explosiveness too.

Marquese who? Wilson might take the back seat is Holmes produces. My guess is Holmes runs a few plays if any Friday, but he should get a decent look Thurs in Cleveland.
