After only two days from agreeing to terms with tight end Demetrius Harris, the Chicago Bears continued to make roster moves with the 2020 free-agency period slowly peaking along the horizon. Earlier today, the Bears released wide receiver Taylor Gabriel and cornerback Prince Amukamara. Both Gabriel and Amukamara were new additions to Chicago’s roster in 2018.
The departure of Amukamara may have a bit of an impact on the Bears’ defense, but not as big as Gabriel leaving the offense potentially will.
With Gabriel given his walking papers, there is now more of an opportunity for Chicago’s younger, bigger receivers to be more active in the passing game.
