Dante Pettis Signs with Chicago Bears

Former 49ers Receiver Joins New Team

The Chicago Bears have signed wide receiver Dante Pettis to a one-year contract. Pettis, a first-team All-American and All-Pac-12 selection in 2017, spent the past four seasons with the San Francisco 49ers.

Pettis had a breakout rookie season with the 49ers in 2018, catching 46 passes for 774 yards and 5 touchdowns. However, his production declined in subsequent seasons, and he was released by the team in March.

The Bears are hoping that Pettis can rediscover his rookie form and provide depth to their receiving corps. The team lost wide receiver Allen Robinson in free agency and is counting on Pettis to step into a larger role.

Conclusion:

Pettis's signing with the Bears is a low-risk, high-reward move. If he can return to his rookie form, he could be a valuable addition to the Bears' offense. However, if he fails to produce, the team can easily move on from him after the season.
