“I’am Leaving” Rome Odunze Has Announced That He Is Leaving The Chicago Bears Due To……….Read More….

Swift’s signing flew under the radar this offseason due to the trade for wide receiver Keenan Allen and the draft haul that brought in Williams and wide receiver Rome Odunze.

But Swift’s versatility will give the Bears’ offense another gear it didn’t have last year when the running back rotation was seemingly decided by who performed better during each Wednesday practice.

The bigger question is how the Bears will split the carries behind Swift. Herbert has shown the ability to be a dynamic change-of-pace back, and the Bears still have a lot of hope for what Johnson can become.

Keep an eye on undrafted rookie back Ian Wheeler. The Howard product was an explosive returner in college and could push to make the roster on special teams, but it’s an uphill climb.

Wide receiver (6):DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, Rome Odunze, Tyler Scott, Velus Jones Jr., DeAndre Carter

The Bears’ signing of DeAndre Carter should put Jones and Dante Pettis on notice in training camp. The 31-year-old Carter is a return specialist who appeared in four games with the Bears in 2020. Carter averaged 23.8 yards per kickoff return for the Las Vegas Raiders last season.

Jones is a good kickoff returner in his own right and will enter camp in good standing to make the roster as the fourth or fifth receiver.

Carter could easily jump Pettis during training camp if the latter spends a lot of time on the shelf due to nagging injuries. Pettis did not participate during most of the offseason program due to soft tissue issues.

I’ll give Carter the nod, but that will be a camp battle to watch.

Undrafted rookie John Jackson III feels like a good bet to make the practice squad.
