The Chicago Bears have done a fantastic job this offseason at adding to their offensive line for next season with the additions of Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson.
These additions to the trenches are what the Bears needed to help better protect their franchise Quarterback, Caleb Williams, who got sacked 68 times, which led the NFL.
The Bears aren’t done adding to the offense, as they appear to be adding another receiver for Williams to target.
The Chicago Bears to add another receiver
The Bears look like they’re adding another wide receiver into the mix, with them appearing to be signing former Washington Commanders wideout Olamide Zaccheaus, per Tom Pelissero.
“Veteran WR Olamide Zaccheaus is signing with the #Bears, per source. OZ had a career-high 45 catches and three TDs last season with Washington. Another weapon for Caleb Williams.“

Zaccheaus will likely be the third option in an already deep wide receiving core, joining D.J. Moore and Rome Odunze, who will be the No. 1 and No. 2 options for this season.
Zaccheaus was with the Commanders last season, playing in all 17 games while starting six. For his season Zaccheaus had a total of 506 receiving yards while scoring three touchdowns.
When he wasn’t receiving Zaccheaus was used as a punt returner, where he tallied 179 yards, with his longest return being 24 yards.
Another good signing for the Bears
Zaccheaus is another excellent signing by general manager Ryan Poles, who has had one of the better offseasons by a GM so far.
With Moore and Odunze set to be the primary receivers, Zaccheaus can expect some packages to be drawn up for him in the offense, but he could be used as a punt returner and on kickoffs again for next season.
