Earlier today, The Athletic’s Kevin Fishbain reported that the Chicago Bears signed wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown to a one-year contract extension. Shortly after that, the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported the deal was for $1.25 million, which is a shade over the league minimum for a veteran of St. Brown’s experience.
The 26-year-old St. Brown is in the midst of the best season in his career with 15 starts, 551 offensive snaps, 37 targets, 20 receptions, 320 receiving yards, and one touchdown, while rushing six times for 54 yards.
He’s now the fourth receiver under contract for the 2023 season, joining Chase Claypool, Velus Jones Jr.
