Bears Sign WR Olamide Zaccheaus to One-Year Deal

The Chicago Bears have signed wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus to a one-year deal, marking their first move to bolster their receiving corps under new head coach Ben Johnson. Zaccheaus, who had a career-best season with 45 catches for 506 yards and three touchdowns with the Washington Commanders, brings experience after playing for the Falcons and Eagles in previous seasons. Standing at 5-foot-8, he is expected to play a significant role as a slot receiver alongside established players DJ Moore and Rome Odunze. This addition comes as the Bears aim to enhance their offensive lineup after a more aggressive approach in 2024. Zaccheaus, a former undrafted free agent, has accumulated 149 receptions and 13 touchdowns over his six-year NFL career, also contributing on special teams. The Bears are hopeful that Zaccheaus can provide additional depth and reliability to their offensive strategies moving forward.
