The Chicago Bears have signed another offensive weapon for rookie quarterback Caleb Williams.
The Bears selected Williams with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and have been making moves to ensure success in his first season.
Williams, set to head into his first training camp with his new team, is likely to receive even more help as league insider Jordan Schultz has reported that the Bears are signing veteran receiver DeAndre Carter.
Former Chargers and Raiders WR/special teams ace DeAndre Carter is signing with the #Bears, per source.

The Chicago Bears Bring Back A Familiar Face
Carter, 31, has made multiple stops around the NFL since going undrafted in 2015 and has been in Chicago before. His most recent stint was with the Las Vegas Raiders last season.
The former Sacramento State star has mostly been used as a return specialist and returned a kickoff for a touchdown for the Washington Commanders in 2021.
Given the new kickoff rules to be implemented in 2024, return specialists have seen their value increase.
Carter, who played four games with the Chicago Bears during the 2020 season, will hope he can slot in at WR, too, as he has walked into a situation where he could catch passes from one of the most hyped rookie quarterbacks in recent times.

Taylor Swift Took Drastic Measures To Make Her Presence Known At Chiefs Ring Ceremony Without Actually Being There
Taylor Swift was at the Kansas City Chiefs ring ceremony without actually being there.
Following her Eras Tour concert on Thursday, the 34-year-old decided she would stay up incredibly late and tune into a live stream of the Kansas City Chiefs ring ceremony so she could watch her boyfriend Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes, and their teammates receive their Super Bowl LVIII rings.
The celebration took place at Kansas City’s Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, as Swift was six time zones away. At one point, Swift joined Chariah Gordon’s Instagram Live, the girlfriend of Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman, and showed him a comment she made about him.
“AND WE GET ANOTHER YEAR OF MECOLE,” she commented.
