Every good NFL quarterback needs a partner in crime at the wide receiver position, and the Chicago Bears are in desperate need to find someone to team up with quarterback Mitch Trubisky. Big names like Jarvis Landry and Sammy Watkins could hit the open market this offseason and would be immediate upgrades at the position for Chicago. The Bears may have a hard time luring those players to a team that hasn't had a winning season since 2012, meaning they'll have to set their sights on some mid-tier prospects.

One name worth keeping an eye on in the coming months is Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee. Sportsline's Adam Thompson recently put out odds on the top wide receivers hitting the open market this offseason and has the Bears among the favorites to land Lee.

He listed the odds for Lee this offseason as follows:

Jacksonville Jaguars 5/1

San Francisco 49ers 8/1

Baltimore Ravens 8/1

Chicago Bears 10/1

Indianapolis Colts 10/1

New York Jets 10/1

The Field 3/1

"Lee has 119 receptions over the last two years with the Jaguars (56 for 702 yards in 2017), but he'll likely be the odd man out in Jacksonville," Thompson wrote. "The team will have to spend a pretty penny to keep Robinson, and already has Allen Hurns and a strong group of young reserves locked up.

"Among wideouts that won't command $10 million-plus, Lee is at the top of the market. Many teams will inquire."

Chicago sits in the middle of the pack in terms of odds at this juncture. Thompson believes the Ravens are the likely landing spot for his services. Here are some of the pros and cons to the Bears trying to sign Lee.

Reasons to sign him

A second-round pick in 2014, some viewed Lee as a bust until a breakout season in 2016. That year he appeared in all 16 games for the first time in his NFL career and caught 63 passes for 851 yards with three touchdowns. In 2017 he caught 56 passes for 702 yards with three touchdowns. He does well on deep balls and is able to track balls in the air. He has also become a polished route-runner which is part of the season why he was able to get open with consistency the last two seasons.

At 26 years old it is reasonable to think he is just now entering the peak of his NFL career.

Reasons to not sign him

Lee has rounded out into a solid receiver the last two seasons, but his first two years are still a bit concerning. Between Year 1 and Year 2 he played in just 26 games with nine starts. During that time he caught 52 passes for 613 yards with two touchdowns before putting together two solid campaigns in 2016 and 2017. It is clear he is not a No. 1 wideout but he may try to get paid like one.

Spotrac lists his market value at $7.5 million and believes his base calculated value predicts he'll sign a three-year contract worth just under $25 million. It is not that the Bears do no have the money to offer such a deal, it is that it would be hard to justify that type of money for a receiver who has never eclipsed the 1,000 yard mark. Spotrac lists Keenan Allen, Allen Hurns, Marvis Jones and Robert Woods as comparable players, yet all but Woods has at least one 1,000-yard season under their belts.

Another reason not to aggressively pursue Lee is his issue with drops. According to Pro Football Focus, Lee dropped eight passes last season, tied for fifth most in the NFL.
