Pixote Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 Roster Move: Bears sign WR Damiere Byrd Another veteran speedy WR with experience as a kick returner. I think half of the FA contracts signed by all teams this year are 1 year unguaranteed contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 A Miller replacement with way more speed. Byrd - 47/604 Miller - 49/485 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Definitely adding speed is a good thing, just makes Robinson and Komet that much more effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixote Posted May 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Just viewed a Highlight video of WR Byrd on YouTube. Showed ability to get good separation, yet also good in tight space, tracks ball good. Oh, and he is fast!

BearFan2000 Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Good signing, we finally have a young QB who can hit the deep ball with accuracy it makes guys like this so much more dangerous. I won't miss Mitch trying to throw deep and not getting the ball anywhere near the receiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Nagy will finally have a QB and speed to try to run his system. No more excuses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
