3 Best Free Agent Slot Wide Receivers for Chicago Bears

2. Is Isaiah McKenzie a nice bargain for Chicago Bears?

If the Chicago Bears want to go a cheaper route to add some explosion to the slot position they could be looking to Isaiah McKenzie. McKenzie has been depth for the Buffalo and really only got a chance to shine when Cole Beasley was out last year.

However, when he does step on the field, he presents problems. McKenzie would essentially be filling in for the Tarik Cohen and Jakeem Grant role more than anything. He is smaller but adds a receiving and rushing dimension to the game, as well as return game upside.

McKenzie is as explosive of those two, and his ability to motion, and move around before and after the snap makes him valuable. The two things that will decide whether or not the team should roll with Isaiah McKenzie will come down to price and the other two names.

If they have Cohen or Grant still on the roster, McKenzie may be overkill. Still, because McKenzie was hidden in Buffalo he could come into Chicago cheaper than both and could be looked at as a starting slot wideout on top of the gadget things. If that is the case, they have to consider him.
