Once viewed as a strong candidate for the No. ^^^ agree on all accounts. It would be great if AJ is back, but I would not want to pay him $13-15M per year to do it.It’s funny you “know” Jeffery will leave. He scored a career-high eight touchdowns in 2015, but he only caught 57 passes for 797 yards despite starting all 16 games. I personally hate everything about Hoyer’s game, but he is exactly the kind of QB Fox wants. 3 and 4 roles. Although he posted 17 touchdowns and 2,347 yards over his final three seasons in New York, it was telling that he was unable to earn a roster spot on a team that desperately needed wide receiver help. No risk to signing him to this kind of deal, and with Jeffery not under contract, Royal likely to be let go, and Wilson not likely to be resigned, they need experience on the roster.He also is a different receiver than what the Bears have. I’d rather see Braverman get the snaps next to White and Jeffrey (yes he is coming back)I like this move. However, any cachet Randle might have held around the NFL seems to have dissipated since he left New York, as the 27-year-old was an early cut in training camp by the Eagles in 2016 and spent a few weeks on injured reserve for the Bears last season before being cut loose in mid-September. Instead, rookie tight end Will Tye has accumulated just as many targets and has done far more with them, besting Randle in receptions, nine to three, and yards, 144 to 58.© 2005-2020 CBS INTERACTIVE. It is what I believe to be the case based on the frustration showed by Jeffery while Hoyer was in the lineup, as well as comments from the team about Hoyer. However, this is a low-risk move for the Bears, and he should be given a chance to compete for a roster spot in 2017, but after not playing during the 2016 season, he'll be facing tough odds to make the regular season roster.The team also parted ways with Chris Givens on Sunday, which bodes well for Paul Turner's chances of making the Eagles' 53-man roster as a depth option behind Jordan Matthews, Nelson Agholor, Josh Huff and Dorial Green-Beckham.Randle had his gallbladder removed May 23, but he was back on the practice field 15 days later and shouldn't be affected. At 6-foot-2, 208 pounds, Randle brings good size to the table, and the 2012 second-rounder will now look to secure a key role in the Eagles' offense following what the New York Daily News describes as an "inconsistent four-year run" with the Giants.Randle landed on injured reserve after suffering a hamstring injury during training camp, but had health permitted, the wideout likely wouldn't have earned a spot on the Bears' 53-man roster. Counting on him to develop into a solid #3 is dangerous in my opinion.Randle, 26 in May, averaged 56 receptions, 782 yards, and six touchdowns over the three seasons with the Giants. The Bears let Alshon Jeffery walk in free agency and replaced him with Markus Wheaton, Rueben Randle, Kendall Wright and Victor Cruz.

In the absence of Jordan Matthews (knee), Philly started Nelson Agholor, Josh Huff and Chris Givens at wideout, though Randle and rookie UDFA Paul Turner also got plenty of chances to mix in while starting quarterback Sam Bradford was still in the game. It was a poor game for Randle despite the long touchdown.The procedure may require a week or two of recovery, but it shouldn't threaten Randall's availability for training camp. 6. Doesn’t hurt to add him.Can you say useless. Or that Hoyer is going to be the starting qb, (you’re crazy if you think that)The Bears were one of the teams to try him out and while he did not earn an NFL deal on the spot, they are signing him to a reserve/futures deal, per a team announcement.We will see. I don’t think he is one, and I don’t think the Bears believe that either. Doesn’t care if he can’t score, but he doesn’t give the ball away.
Randle managed just two catches for 10 yards on two targets, after catching one ball for three yards on three targets in the preseason opener. Randle should still draw plenty of interest, as he won't turn 25 until May and has the physical tools to be a solid starter. Cleveland won’t take a qb at 1 but will at 12 and San Fran shouldn’t take qb at 2 but will in second round ahead of bears. After signing a one-year contract in the offseason, he'll compete for snaps against Nelson Agholor, Josh Huff, Chris Givens and others. 2 role.Randle played with the third-string offense, but showed some chemistry with Mitch Trubisky, as the quarterback connected with him on a pair of rollouts.
