Bears' Cordarrelle Patterson: Finalizes deal with Bears

Patterson finalized a two-year, $10 million contract with the Bears, Ben Volin of The Boston Globe reports.

It's really a one-year commitment, devoid of any guarantees beyond 2019. The Bears likely will deploy Patterson as their No. 4 wide receiver and kickoff return specialist in his age-28 season, with the potential to get him some carries on jet sweeps or even out of the backfield. He displayed impressive versatility with New England in 2018, spending a few weeks in the backfield when the team was hit by injuries.
