WR Equanimeous St. Brown will be signing with the Bears, per source.

Free agent wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown is following Luke Getsy and Lucas Patrick to Chicago.
According to Jeff Howe of The Athletic, St. Brown is signing a one-year deal with the Bears.
The Packers selected St. Brown in the sixth round of the 2018 draft. He caught 37 passes for 543 yards and one touchdown over 37 career games with the Packers.
In Chicago, St. Brown will find familiar faces. Getsy, the former Packers passing game coordinator, is now the Bears offensive coordinator. Patrick signed with the Bears earlier this week.
St. Brown, 25, gives Getsy and the Bears an athletic and versatile receiver who has extensive knowledge of the offense.
He’ll also get to play the Packers twice next season if he makes the 53-man roster.
St. Brown played 846 total offensive snaps and 172 snaps on special teams in Green Bay. He never carved out a significant role on offense but did end up playing out his entire four-year rookie contract.
In 2021, St. Brown caught nine passes for 98 yards and rushed three times for 14 yards.
