Blog Down, Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears have agreed to terms on a two-year deal with wide receiver Marty Booker. The move is expected to strengthen a receiving core that was left suddenly thin by the release of veteran Muhsin Muhammad and the subsequent loss of Bernard Berrian to free agency.

Booker comes from the Miami Dolphins where he spent the last four seasons. Originally a third round draft pick by the Bears in 1999, Booker was traded to the Dolphins in 2004 for defensive end Adewale Ogunleye.

The Bears are still expected to target a wide receiver in one of the first three rounds of this April’s draft. Booker joins Devin Hester, Mark Bradley, Mike Hass and Brandon Rideau as the only wideouts on the Bears’ current roster.
