The Chicago Bears saw fit to part ways with veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen ahead of Ben Johnson's first season as head coach, choosing instead to roll with a starting trio of veteran star DJ Moore, enticing Top 10 pick Rome Odunze, and much-hyped second-round pick Luther Burden III.
Burden may have an inside track to the starting slot wide receiver role due to his college career at Missouri, but his absence could provide an opportunity for another veteran on this roster to stamp themselves as an unquestioned starting-level talent who could fill in for Burden.
