HIDDEN PLAYMAKING SKILL
When put in space where he can properly utilize his talents of speed and agility, he has proven quite dangerous. Keep in mind he had his 1,000-yard season with Jake Locker and Ryan Fitzpatrick throwing him the football.
There is also another reason to think Wright would fit well with the Bears. That being the surprising productivity of Josh Bellamy. Of course most people know him for his ugly dropped passes during this past season but there is no denying that he seemed to find a groove in the Loggains offense, getting open quite a bit to make some impressive plays. Both down the field and on bubble screens.
The idea of course being to get him room to operate and then deliver the football, allowing his athletic traits to take over. The decision to move on from Jeffery is primarily about money and availability. Chicago is still running a scheme that the previous regime favored. One built around size. This decision to let him walk seems to indicate the Bears would like to focus more on speed, quickness and agility. Less Brandon Marshall, more Odell Beckham and Antonio Brown.
Of course Wright isn’t Brown or Beckham but he is a former 1st round pick who is still just 27-years old. He has plenty of good football left in him. It’s just a matter of whether he can find a situation that knows how to maximize what he does best. Chicago has just the guy for that job in Loggains.
