I love Bellamy. Dude does whatever it takes to make himself valuable and prides himself in that. He's not that high dollar sexy pick people buy jerseys of, he's a man starting from the bottom and working his way up. I love that about him and Pace and Nagy clearly do to.
Dude got paid for that effort and I bet Nagy fits him into the offense as a WR. There's no way he's making $1.9 million as solely an STeamer. $1.9 million is more than he's made with the Bears over the last 3 years. You don't pay an STeamer that kind of money. Pace and Nagy like what Bellamy brings as a receiver. He's fast. He's quick. He's physical. He's got decent size. He's strong. He can run routes. He can block AND, as he gets more reps at wide receiver rather than as a four phase special team player, he'll improve his hands.
+1 I have to agree. I figure I'm going to just trust that Pace and the new coaches know what they are doing on all of these decisions. You're right he's not the flashy pick, but I think we all realize there are role players who can be valuable too. Bellamy must be one, or he wouldn't have been resigned.

I know. And Glennon must have been a good QB or we wouldn't have signed him.

My only point is that Nagy may see Bellamy as a role player he wants.

Bellamy is fine as a 4th or 5th WR. He's a good ST gunner and when his hands aren't two sticks of butter he's not not a bad backup slot receiver. He just isn't good enough to be what he's been all too often the last couple years--which is a de facto starting WR, especially on the outside.
Finally we have two better options on board and 3 if White doesn't shatter into a thousand pieces week 1 again.
