The Chicago Bears need some receivers for Mitchell Trubisky, and it sounds like they are targeting Sammy Watkins in free agency.
The Chicago Tribune’s Brad Biggs reported on Monday that Watkins is the Bears’ top target. He also says the team has interest in receiver Allen Robinson, who is coming off a torn ACL.
Watkins has not played in a full 16 games since his rookie season in 2014. He had 39 catches for 593 yards and eight touchdowns in 15 games last season with the Rams.
Watkins is 24 and has a history of injury issues that led the Buffalo Bills to part ways with him last year, but his big-play potential is undeniable. The Rams have interest in retaining him, but there are multiple teams with interest in him, and he could become too expensive. The Packers have also been linked to both Watkins and Robinson.
