The 25-year-old has five NFL seasons under his belt, all with the Panthers. In March 2022, he signed a three-year extension with the Panthers worth about $62 million. That resulted in his contract to four years, giving him three years in control with the Bears.

The former No. 24 overall pick in the 2018 draft has three seasons receiving over 1,000 yards. Last season, he recorded 888 yards and seven touchdowns, the most he’s recorded in a single season. The bears found their No. 1 receiver ahead of free agency.
