The Bears have added another receiver to their current group, announcing today (via Twitter) that they’ve signed unrestricted free agent Josh Morgan to a one-year contract.
Morgan, 28, spent the first four seasons of his career with the 49ers before moving on to Washington and spending two years with the Redskins. Morgan had interest in re-signing with the club this offseason, but that interest wasn’t mutual, as we heard last month.
Although Morgan started 15 games and grabbed 48 balls during his first year with the Redskins, he played a reduced role last season, hauling in just 20 passes for 214 yards and zero touchdowns. In Chicago, he’ll fight for playing time with a number of other wideouts – including fellow 2014 signee Domenik Hixon – behind starters Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery.
