It's April 4th. This is NFL News Today, AI-powered stories from around the league. I'm Corey with the story. Chicago Bears just cut ties with DJ Moore. So now third year Whiteout, Rome, Odunze steps up as their top pass catcher. The former number 9 overall pick from 2024 had a flashy, ricky year, but battled injuries and drops in his sophomore season. Last week at the NFL Owners meetings, head coach Ben Johnson straight up addressed those drop issues. John Hill drilled down on them this off season. To lock in Odunze's role, fans and analysts see huge potential here, especially since Odunze was Caleb Williams go to Guy last year with 44 catches for 600. 61 yards and 6 scores over 12 games. The Bears offense packs talent, but they crave that undisputed number one receiver. Johnson's pushing fundamentals across the whole unit, setting Odunze up for a monster rebound in 2026 with more time in this scheme.
Bears Nation keep eyes on this kid. He could own the skies next fall.
