Bears need a better return from their massive investment in WRs

The Bears invested in the wide receiver position like no other team in football this offseason.

In March, they traded a fourth-round pick to the Chargers for — and committed $23.1 million to — six-time Pro Bowl player Keenan Allen. In April, they drafted Washington receiver Rome Odunze, the FBS leader in receiving yards last year. And in July, they handed DJ Moore a four-year, $110 million contract extension, the largest per-year deal in franchise history.

Only two teams in the NFL have spent more in salary cap space on receivers this year.
