Finally, things are picking up for Victor Cruz. The former Giants wide receiver will meet with the Bears on Monday, Kim Jones of NFL Network tweets.
This marks the second known scheduled meeting for Cruz and the third reported team with interest in the veteran. Cruz will head to Jacksonville later this month to meet with the Jaguars and the Ravens are working to line up a visit as well.
The Bears have already made major changes to their wide receiver group after moving on from Alshon Jeffery and parting ways with Eddie Royal. Now, they project to have major roles for free agent additions Kendall Wright and Markus Wheaton plus the returning Cameron Meredith and Kevin White. Cruz would probably have to take a backseat to most of those younger talents if he comes to Chicago, but he might be able to carve out a role in the slot. Some of Mike Glennon‘s early struggles in Tampa Bay were attributed to a lack of a slot option, so he would probably having Cruz.
I like it. One year deal. A million. Plus incentives.
Hopefully the bears sign him, for his sake there’s good salsa dancing clubs in Chicago
What’s the phrase about deck chairs on the Titanic?
Maybe 5 number 3 WRs will equal one number 1.
Sounds like an agent generated blast? Bears ain’t signing him so why visit

Not exactly a veteran group ready to develop a young QB… Cruz would bring a veteran with rings into a room looking for an Alpha.
