The Bears released wide receiver Taylor Gabriel last month after he failed to live up to the hype surrounding his addition as a speedy playmaker back in 2018.
Gabriel signed a four-year, $26 million deal with $14 million guaranteed, and in two seasons with the Bears managed just 96 catches for 1,041 yards and six touchdowns. He was hardly the discount version of Tyreek Hill for Matt Nagy's offense. But that doesn't mean his absence in the lineup won't have a negative impact.
Gabriel was the only legitimate speed threat that the Bears had at wide receiver.
