A familiar face has found his way back to the windy city. WR Rashied Davis, who signed with NFC North rival Detroit last offseason has reportedly signed with the Chicago Bears today.
Chicago Tribune reporter Vaughn McClure first reported the move Monday afternoon.
He was let go last offseason after the Bears opted to sign WR Sam Hurd. That turned to be a big mistake after what happened to Hurd last season.
Davis was always a likable player for the Bears. He helped on special teams in any way he could as a blocker as well as a returner. He was always a dependable receiver as well, making big catches when the team needed him most.
In six seasons in Chicago, the 33-year old appeared in 92 games making 15 starts. He reeled in 88 balls for 1,032 yards and five touchdowns.
He will battle second-year receiver Dane Sanzenbacher, who has yet to prove his worth on special teams for a likely sixth receiver spot.
Glad to see a familiar face back in Chicago. He should be one of the better sixth receivers in the league if he is able to secure a roster spot.
Welcome back Rashied Davis.
