Wide receiver Maurice Alexander follows Ben Johnson, Antwaan Randle El to Chicago

Wide receiver Maurice Alexander signed a reserve/futures contract with the Chicago Bears, per a report from Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 in Houston.

Alexander will join new Bears head coach and former offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as well as Antwaan Randle El, who coached wide receivers in Detroit and will do the same while also adding the title of assistant head coach in Chicago. Alexander spent three seasons with the Lions.

Alexander was on the practice squad for the Lions at the end of the season but was not signed to a futures deal by the team, allowing him to sign such a deal elsewhere, even before free agency officially started. He appeared in three games on special teams this season for the Lions, including filling in for an injured Kalif Raymond as a kick and punt returner.

After losing two key wide receivers in free agency, the Chicago Bears have quickly found a replacement in Maurice Alexander. The former standout receiver has agreed to a deal with the Bears, joining former teammates Ben Johnson and Antwaan Randle El in Chicago.

Alexander, known for his speed and playmaking ability, will provide a much-needed boost to the Bears’ receiving corps. With Johnson and Randle El already in the fold, the trio of receivers gives Chicago a formidable group of pass catchers for quarterback Justin Fields to target.

Fans are excited to see what this new trio can do on the field and are hopeful that Alexander can help lead the Bears to success in the upcoming season. Stay tuned for more updates on the Bears’ offseason moves and how Alexander fits into the team’s plans. #ChicagoBears #MauriceAlexander #NFLFreeAgency
