The Chicago Bears have reached an agreement to sign wide receiver Roy Williams, who was released by the Dallas Cowboys, the Chicago Tribune reported Friday.
Not only have the Bears agreed to terms with the 6-foot-3 Roy Williams, but they will also add veteran Sam Hurd, who is also 6-3. Hurd, a former Northern Illinois star, called in Friday morning to ESPN 1000 to confirm the news.
Hurd is also an excellent special-teams player, having totaled 34 tackles over the past two seasons. In some ways, he is a bigger version of Rashied Davis, the Bears’ longtime receiver/special-teams ace who agreed to terms earlier this week with the Detroit Lions.
If you’re going to add a veteran from outside, it makes perfect sense for that player to offer a different skill set than existing personnel. There is no question about that for Williams or Hurd. They are the Bears’ answer for the decision to part ways with tight end Greg Olsen, who provided height and muscle in the passing game, except they won’t be asked to block at the line of scrimmage.
