Heinz D. Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Interesting. Not sure I'm done freaking out , but it's a good signing. It smacks of stopgap though, so I'm curious how things unfold from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

51to54 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Doubled his career receptions in one season. Trending up. Is he a special teams guy in any way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZBearsFan Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 12 hours ago, G08 said: lolololol Somewhere.... @WindyCity [intimately celebrates with oneself] feverishly Bennie Fowler is the lynchpin of our WR depth. Forget a rookie - we need to give those targets to BENNIE GD FOWLER or the excrement is gonna hit the fan! If Robinson or Gabriel gets hurt BENNIE GD FOWLER is gonna be the piece preventing the stunting of the growth of one Mitch Trubisky! Can’t you hear it now??! BEN-NIE! BEN-NIE! BEN-NIE!

Now, I’ve never had frostbite personally, but I imagine that one of the least desirable places to get it would be on my crank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know offhand, but he'll probably have to be now, unless they get rid of White. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFL.com has him making 18 tackles in the past 3 years so I suspect he plays on coverage teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkwdw13 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I just picked one random game for Fowler last season and about half of his total snaps were on ST's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I really like this signing. He is someone I had in my offseasons, but I figured he would have been RFA tendered. He is a very solid addition at #3, more likely #4. What to like, -Last season was exactly what the Bears need 56 targets, 29 catches, 350 yards and 3 TDs. If he can fill that role it would be awesome. Takes the pressure off a rookie to do that. -He can play on the outside. If Robinson gets injured he is at least physically capable of playing the positon. Not having somone who can even fill the role would mean the offense needs to change. -He has been very productive on special teams, which might mean my dream of Bellamy being gone is one step closer. Of the remaining WRs he is one of a few where there may be more there than has been shown. If he is the #4 that would be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 The Bears needed a WR with some level of NFL production. Fowler has produced and allows a draft pick a little more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the team would LOVE if Fowler and a draft pick make Bellamy entirely expendable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
