LAKE FOREST, Ill. - Former Chargers wide receiver and free agent Eddie Royal is visiting with the Chicago Bears, a league source has confirmed to ESPN.
The source says Royal has interest from other clubs, though the Bears are currently the front-runners to sign the seven-year veteran from Virginia Tech.
A second round pick in 2008, Royal snagged 7 touchdowns on 62 catches for 778 yards in San Diego last season.
Royal played with Bears quarterback Jay Cutler when both were together for one season in Denver, hauling in 91 receptions for 980 yards and five touchdowns.
Chicago, under first-year head coach John Fox, is in need of depth at the receiver position after sending Brandon Marshall, and a seventh-round draft pick, to the Jets in exchange for a fifth-round draft choice.
