The Bears clearly have their #1 and #2 receivers in Devin Hester and Earl Bennett, but the question is who will be the odd man out with all of those receivers in the mix.
After Hester and Bennett, the likes of Juaquin Iglesias (who has supposedly had a great training camp), Johnny Knox, Rashied Davis, Derek Kinder, and Devin Aromashodu are all competing for positions on the Chicago roster. Unfortunately, the team can't fit all of these receivers on the team, and one or two will be sent home packing.
Bears quarterback Jay Cutler said this about the receivers after practice at Soldier Field last night:
"I think D.A. is coming along really well, he's making some flashes out there. We're working him in with the ones a little bit. We've got to find some depth there. We've got to find some guys we can trust other than Earl [Bennett] and Devin [Hester] and the tight ends. We're getting there. I'm real happy with the receiving group right now."
Cutler's words about Aromashodu could surely help his cause, and may already seem to be the case. Aromashodu has been seen practicing with the first offensive unit at Soldier Field.
As for the fans, it's hard to say who exactly they'd like to see, but I know that many are displeased with the recent performance of Rashied Davis. Davis had a great season during the Bears' Super Bowl run, but fell off greatly last season and supposedly looks weak this training camp too.
I know Bears fans would like to see new faces in the mix. Rashied Davis was in the doghouse last season and I think he is still there this training camp. Rashied Davis was a very solid receiver in the slot position the year of the super bowl run. I don't know, who will be the odd man out, but I hope they don't let Rashied Davis go it would be a big mistake. Rashied Davis should stay with team because of his experience in the slot. Devin Aromashodu is a long shot to make the team and should be put on the practice squad.
Hester, Bennett, Rideau, Davis, Knox and Iglesias should be the five receivers the Bears keep on there active roster. Aromashodu and Kinder are guys on the outside looking in.
