The Chicago Bears are in need of bolstering their wide receiver position, and one potential target that could address this need is Jerry Jeudy from the Denver Broncos. Jeudy, a former first-round pick, is currently on the fifth-year option and is set to become a free agent next year. With uncertainty surrounding his future with the Broncos, now might be the optimal time for them to explore trading him and getting value in return.
Jeudy’s performance in 2022 saw him record 987 yards and 2.18 yards per route run, but his numbers dipped in 2023 to 758 yards and 1.65 yards per route run. Despite this, his career average of 1.83 yards per route run indicates his potential and value. However, he may not be a good fit for Sean Payton’s offense, and with the Broncos lacking a stable quarterback situation, they might prioritize acquiring draft picks over retaining Jeudy.
For the Bears, acquiring Jeudy could be a smart move. His recent performance slump could mean they can acquire him at a lower cost, either through draft picks or possibly an extension offer. In Chicago, Jeudy would complement D.J. Moore as the number two receiver, potentially thriving in an offense that can support multiple receiving threats, as seen in Shane Waldron’s scheme.
Having Jeudy and Moore as targets would be beneficial for a rookie quarterback, providing them with quality weapons to succeed in the NFL. It’s expected that the Bears would show interest in Jeudy if the Broncos make him available for trade.
