Bears eye Stefon Diggs as free agent receiver option for Caleb Williams

Summary

The Chicago Bears are reportedly interested in signing veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who had 85 receptions for 1,013 yards in 2025. With D.J. Moore traded to the Buffalo Bills, Diggs would provide experience to support rookie quarterback Caleb Williams. The Bears' current depth chart includes young receivers Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III, but adding Diggs could bolster their offensive capabilities. Although Diggs has faced off-field issues and some decline in explosiveness, his skill set could still enhance the Bears' passing game. With limited cap space, Chicago is considering whether they can afford to bring Diggs on board.
