One wide receiver has run a fly pattern out of Halas Hall, and the Bears might have to make a decision on another before long.

Restricted free agent Rashied Davis, a slot receiver, is generating substantial interest, and he's an attractive option for teams because they would not have to compensate the Bears for signing him.

The Kansas City Chiefs might make a move for Davis. They have only four wideouts under contract, including former Chicago Rush star Bobby Sippio, and would be able to use Davis as a returner. The Chiefs ranked 30th in kickoff returns last season.

Davis, who turns 29 in July, received the low tender offer of $927,000 from the Bears, and because the former Arena League player was not an NFL draft pick, the Bears would not receive a pick if they chose not to match an offer sheet. The Bears lost Bernard Berrian to the Minnesota Vikings.

The Bears want to keep Davis, who had only 17 catches last season in a dysfunctional offense. He asserted himself on special teams and proved his value as a receiver in 2006, when he made a host of big plays, including a winning touchdown catch at Minnesota and a crucial 37-yard grab on third-and-10 to set up the winning field goal in overtime of the playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks.
Extra points

The Bears were one of about 15 teams attending the pro-day workout of Delaware quarterback Joe Flacco on Thursday, according to agent Joe Linta. If they have any interest in Kentucky quarterback Andre Woodson, they're doing a good job of disguising it. Twenty-five teams were represented at Woodson's workout Wednesday in Lexington, and a coach on hand confirmed a report in the Louisville Courier-Journal that the Bears were one of the seven absent.

At this point since Lovie/management is content with Grossman, does it matter if we have receivers?

I not following that comment,

This is about QB's not WR's

This is about what I was thinking was going to happen. I have heard that Flacco has worked his way into the first round. So Dallas has the 22nd pick what happens when Dallas had the 22nd pick in the Draft they trade it way for someone second and first next year. It happened last year with the Browns and just a few years before that with the Bills.
