Confirmed: WR Taylor Gabriel signs 4yr deal with Bears

[Hiphopopotamos]

Most people thought we were a lock to sign Albert Wilson. Most people were wrong.

Most people think it would be bananas to go into the season with Meredith, Robinson, and White as the Bears top three WR's.

Most people look at Taylor Gabriel as a nice complimentary type WR who has the speed to beat a defense over the top.

Most people on twitter have mentioned him as a possible target for the Bears and someone who isn't going to break the bank to sign

Just turned 27 and has legit, game-breaking speed. Mark me down as YEAYUH.

[southdakbearfan]

I wouldn’t mind him at all.

Your use of “most people” had me thinking preacher sermon or politician. Lol.

[UOK]

My criteria:

• Is the player a wide receiver under the age of 30?

Okay, that works.

Add in all fingers attached and no laundry list of ir stays.

Has 'only' missed an average of 1.5 games per season (over 4 seasons).

Like I said. I would not be against him.

Nah, it was a dig at me.

But a friendly dig.

Ran a 4.27* at his pro-day.

This is our Tyreek Hill. I still think Pace really wanted Watkins but it is what it is.

[crueltyabc]

Scary speed on display in those highlight vids. He's gonna be exciting

[Middleguard]

is (Robinson + Gabriel) > Watkins ?

[mmmc_35]

Well the WR group on paper is legit as fuck now.

[southdakbearfan]

Would like to see Inman resigned and Wheaton cut with the Gabriel addition.

[G08]

So FOR SURE our main passing targets should be:

Robinson
Burton
Gabriel
Shaheen
Cohen (as a RB)

Right? White and Meredith can be considered afterthoughts at this point and anything we get out of them is gravy. I think we might be done at WR to the point where I see no need to draft one in the first two rounds...

[Bears Whiskey Nut]

Pace taking no prisoners when it comes to the WR position. Its clear Nagy told him what he wanted, and Pace is delivering. I would really like to see Inman re-signed, but its not imperative now.

Watching some of his highlights, three things stand out;

1. Speed, speed, speed. Holy shit.
2. He is a great catcher of the ball. Look at how he uses his hands.
3. Runs solid routes.

I am imagining him in motion while Tarik Cohen is in the backfield. CRAZY, CRAZY options. This could be a really fun year (please!).

IF, and its a BIG HUGE IF. If White can stay healthy, Robinson and White would be an interesting pair.

[VA_Mountain_Bear]

Good signing. Compliments excellently with the emerging roster.

[Atkins&Rebel]

Gabriel can get all kinds of exciting. He'd have more production if Julio wasn't the focal point of that offense

[IotaNet]

Excellent signing!!!

@TGdadon1

Been playing outside receiver since I've been in the leauge lol even on madden I'm a slot receiver

[thunderspirit]

Well, there's the speed guy.
And speed to effing burn.

Also, just cos he's like 5-7 doesn't make him a slot receiver.

Also also, weird that he and Markus Wheaton have the exact same birthday (2/7/91).

[Mikefive]

I wish I knew the terms on this one.

[G08]

I wish I knew the terms on this one.

Shot in the dark: 4 years/24 million/$12 guaranteed.
