Bears Consider DJ Chark, Possible Zaccheaus Trade

The Chicago Bears recently hosted free agent wide receiver DJ Chark, a former Pro Bowler with past connections to head coach Ben Johnson in Detroit, as training camp approaches. Chark, who last played for the Chargers, is evaluating teams with both professional fit and family in mind, following recent seasons hampered by injuries but highlighted by a 1,000-yard campaign in 2019. Despite a crowded receiver group featuring DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, and rookie Luther Burden III, the Bears are reportedly open to increasing depth and experience. The potential addition of Chark has led to speculation that a trade involving Olamide Zaccheaus could occur to manage roster space. Chicago's approach under Johnson emphasizes flexibility and competition within the receiver room. Chark’s ultimate decision is expected to weigh both football opportunities and personal priorities.
