oh I'm not making fun of hte guy; I'm just projecting this will be the last move made to correct the horrible position we are in w/the WR's and their lack of size....and hence making fun of that.
Look at the route-running. Look at the soft hands. He got so much separation from the defender. If this is what you're expecting, Super Bears Superbowl!
LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- The Chicago Bears signed Canadian Football League standout wide receiver Andy Fantuz on Friday to a reserve/future contract.
The 6-foot-4, 220-pound Fantuz led the CFL in 2010 with 1,380 yards on 87 catches to go with six touchdowns.
Fantuz, who worked out for the Bears in January, played the last five seasons with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, racking up 276 receptions for 4,136 yards and 23 touchdowns.
Fantuz, 27, was the third overall pick of the 2006 CFL draft.
"Hey everyone, I just signed a contract with the Bears today," Fantuz posted to his Twitter account. "I want to thank everyone for all of your support."

I know he didn't have a lot of touchdowns last season, but it seems like he's a work horse for that team when it comes to the passing game. Maybe he could do the same for the Bears.
