Bears sign Berlin

This really fills the gaping hole across from Mush.This better not steer them away from drafting MW or Braylon...

Who?

But seriously, this guy could have some talent. Although he only caught 20 passes last year, I'm pretty sure he has some special teams skills. And many don't realize that 70% of Berlin's receptions last season produced first downs. This definitely shouldn't stop them from taking Braylon or Mike, but this signing may not turn out to be that bad.

I've heard he's slated mainly for special teams. Or maybe they figured they needed one more mediocre receiver.

He'll be a special teamer and a back-up to Wade in the slot I'm guessing.

Yeah I would suspect Berlin will be mainly a Special Teams guy since he has pretty good speed. He went to my alma mater UNI which also produced Dedric Ward. Its cool to see those guys playing in the NFL since UNI is only I-AA.
