Bears sign WR Justin Hardy

[bearsfan1977]

So…finally a replacement for ARob? I kid.

Has some value as a special teamer I suppose. Most of his experience returning punts. I believe Herbert is the favorite to return kickoffs. Newsome is in the hunt for punt return duties, but that collarbone needs to heal.

Nothing wrong with a little depth at WR. Perhaps he can play a bit of TE as well. lol

You can never have enough WRs under 6’ that weigh less than 185.

It's official, Calvin Ridley is rooting for a back half of the roster WR to take his brother's spot.

Does everyone forget Cohen returns punts, & is extremely good at it? I don’t think he’ll be giving those reps up.

Hardy is another camp body I don’t think he puts any current WRs in jeopardy

I don't think anyone forgot. I just think everyone remembers that Cohen is an undersized player coming off of an ACL tear.

Really doubt Cohen will be returning punts the first half of the year, with him coming off that injury.

Hardy showed some promise with the Falcons and then promptly fell off a cliff. Riley is as good as gone.

That injury which happened.....returning punts.

Riley will go sign with Atlanta if he’s cut…

11-12 months from an acl tear he should be ready to go, especially if there was no meniscus damage. I guess we will see soon enough

Even CR not as delusional as Bears fans about his bro RR.

I tried to watch Hardy's highlight tape but it ended after like 18 seconds

Looks physical, tough. Didn't get much separation in the short film I watched.

Khalil Mack agrees that all it takes for you to be a star is to go to a team that has a star on the team so long as he is your brother, no talent required.

 

[JoJoBoxer]

For what it's worth, he seems to be a hands catcher (doesn't let the ball get into his body) looking at his college tape.

yeah, that's why the Bears just put him on the PUP list.

 

[Mdbearz]

I'm still rooting for Ridley, I'm not sure why, because 10 receptions in 2 years is not screaming super star.

Not sure why he did not buddy up with Mooney and Robinson....He could have learned a thing or two about being a Pro.

I just wonder who Justin will have chemistry with if he is taking mostly 2nd team reps.

If the starting 3 are ARob, Mooney and either Goodwin or Byrd, then that leaves:

- Dazz Newsome (on the PuP)
- Wims (possession type)
- Ridley (doghouse)
- Ives (he has flashed in camp and Pre-season before)
- either Goodwin or Byrd (both vets)

OR will he find a connection with one of the TEs like Jake Butt or Jesse James (hope he get time with Kmet also)

RB's - Pierce, Williams, Herbert could all be on the field with him

When is 12 months from his injury? I can tell you it isn't end of July

Yup. My thoughts exactly. Hell play well too. Im not trying to say hell be a world beater but at the very least hell exeed the play of Anthony Miller and fkn Dick Fingers(Wims).
