The Bears on Saturday signed receiver Santonio Holmes to a one-year contract and terminated the contract of receiver Eric Weems. (ChicagoBears.com)

Fantasy Impact:

Coughing up the football during a kickoff return in a preseason rumble with the Jaguars sealed the fate of Mr. Weems. The Bears sign Santonio Holmes to compete for that important 3rd wide receiver role while letting Eric Weems relax in the free agency pool. The signing of Holmes makes a late round flyer on the Bears #3 WR interesting, if not plausible.
