March 12, 201610 yr comment_155994 #Bears have agreed to a 1-year deal with Marc Mariani. Welcome back, @marcmariani80! ?⬇️ https://t.co/VEZxvrKkyn Report
March 12, 201610 yr Author comment_155995 I think when it came down to him as one of the only WRs healthy enough to play, he stepped up and looked good. No dropped passes. The guy could give Royal a run at the slot. Report
March 12, 201610 yr comment_155997 Meh. Personally, I'm of the opinion that if he should only get snaps at WR if we have multiple injuries at WR, and should only get snaps in the return game if the apocalypse is imminent. At least it's not a multi-year deal. Report
March 12, 201610 yr Author comment_155998 Meh. Personally, I'm of the opinion that if he should only get snaps at WR if we have multiple injuries at WR, and should only get snaps in the return game if the apocalypse is imminent. At least it's not a multi-year deal. Maybe I am biased because Royal was a ghost. I seen some Wes Welker clutch plays from Mariani and maybe he puts up better stats if they went to him earlier. Either way, one year deal, so I am sure he is cuttable if it comes to that. Report
March 12, 201610 yr comment_156003 Good signing as long as he never sees the field in the return game. Report
March 12, 201610 yr comment_156008 No issues with this signing. He was actually a fairly reliable target for Cutler when all the injuries hit, and he should be better in year #2 with same QB and system. I didn't mind him with punts but we were better off with him taking a knee on kickoffs. Report
March 12, 201610 yr comment_156010 Good signing as long as he never sees the field in the return game. He is just a guy, if something comes along better, his one year deal is going away. If he is the worst WR on you team, probably not that bad. Report
March 13, 201610 yr comment_156013 I don't mind the signing at all as this is how you fill out the bottom end of the roster but I put him in the same group I put Ducasse last year. I hope he gets cut because it will mean we have someone better on the roster. Mariani said WR is what he wants to be so with some other teams interested in him my guess is that the Bears agreed to keep him there to compete for the last spot. There is always the chance another year in the system helps him play better. Report

That means he starts training camp as the #5 WR with an improved Cameron Meredith likely to make the team. Course if anybody gets hurt, we'll be thrilled we had him. Report

Every one of those you guys listed; Jefferey, Royal, Wilson and White were hurt at some point in the last year or two. I'd say at least 50% of that group will be hurt again. Smart insurance signing. He's clutch and reliable. Report
