LAKE FOREST, Ill. - Wide receiver Eddie Royal has signed with the Chicago Bears, according to reports from the Chicago Sun-Times and NFL.com.
Both sides agreed to a three-year deal, according to a league source.
Royal recorded 72 receptions for 778 yards and seven touchdowns last season with the Chargers and is expected to take the No. 1 spot after the departure of Brandon Marshall to the Jets.
He and Bears quarterback Jay Cutler played together for one season when both were with Denver, a banner year for the receiver, as they connected on 91 passes for 980 yards and five scores in 2008, Royal's rookie season.
He has 3,750 career yards on 338 catches and 25 touchdowns in a seven-year career, and in 2009 became the fourth-fastest receiver in NFL history to reach 100 career catches.
