The offseason of 2025 was one of many firsts. It was also one of some experiments. Whether or not they worked out for the Chicago Bears would be found out eventually.
A particular move that hasn't exactly paid dividends for general manager Ryan Poles has to be the signing of veteran wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus. When the Bears initially signed him, most assumed he would have been a strong WR4 behind D.J. Moore, Rome Odunze and Luther Burden.
As the season began and progressed, though, we saw Zaccheaus get far more playing time than he should have, which resulted in some pretty poor production.
