The Chicago Bears are adding more speed to their offense with the addition of veteran wide-out Ted Ginn Jr., who is signing a one-year deal with the Bears, according to Ian Rapoport.
Ginn, a 13-year veteran, had 30 receptions for 421 yards — averaging 14 yards per reception — and two touchdowns in his final year with the New Orleans Saints in 2019. While providing depth at receiver for Chicago, Ginn also brings some experience — and serious speed — to the kick return game. Although, Cordarrelle Patterson and Tarik Cohen occupy those starting roles.
The Bears offense is certainly looking to add more speed in 2020, an element that was lacking last season. With the recent selection of Tulane receiver Darnell Mooney in the fifth-round and now the signing of Ginn, Chicago is looking to utilize some speedy weapons to help stretch the field in 2020.
Chicago’s receivers room now consists of Allen Robinson, Anthony Miller, Patterson, Javon Wims, Riley Ridley, Mooney, Reggie Davis, Thomas Ives, Ahmad Wagner, Alex Wesley and newcomer Trevor Davis, who signed a one-year deal on Wednesday.
