 Devin Hester-WR- BearsFeb. 9 - 8:40 am et
New Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz said that he envisions Devin Hester moving to the slot and playing reduced snaps on offense.
Martz sees Hester going back to his role as a full-time returner. "It would be very difficult for him to play every snap on offense and still play effectively on special teams," Martz said. Hester would play the slot role that Az Hakim did for Martz's Rams and it's worth noting that Hakim never caught more than 53 passes in a season. Downgrade Hester's outlook for 2010.

 Earl Bennett-WR - Bears Feb. 5 - 10:21 am et  

Beat writer Brad Biggs believes Earl Bennett will be "pushed to maintain a starting job" in 2010.
A possession receiver, Bennett works best in the slot. New coordinator Mike Martz hinted, however, that he sees Devin Hester as the Bears' version of Az Hakim inside. Bennett may have to hold off Martz's "real diamond" Johnny Knox for a starting job.

 Devin Hester-WR - Bears Feb. 5 - 10:08 am et

Devin Hester revealed Thursday that he played through a left shoulder injury in addition to his ankle and calf ailments during the 2009 season.
"I really couldn't use my left shoulder," said Hester. He said he played through the injury at "75 to 80 percent." Hester won't need surgery, but he's still rehabbing it to build strength. The lower leg injuries also affected his ability to push off, sapping him of his quickness. The team could opt to curtail the smallish Hester's offensive snaps since he couldn't hold up to the pounding of two full-time roles.

 Devin Hester-WR - Bears Feb. 4 - 1:05 pm et

Devin Hester said he would "love" to cut down on his time at wide receiver if it helps him return to dominance as a returner.
"I know what I'm best at," he said. "The return game is my bread and butter." Hester was beginning to emerge as a legit receiving weapon before ankle and calf injuries sent his season into a tailspin. The Bears don't consider him a true No. 1 receiver, and they have depth with Devin Aromashodu emerging along with Johnny Knox and Earl Bennett. Hester's ultimate role may hinge on the Bears' offseason moves.

 Greg Olsen-TE - Bears Feb. 1 - 3:47 pm et  

Greg Olsen may have the most to lose following the Bears' hire of Mike Martz as offensive coordinator.
While Martz figures to make effective use of speedy outside wideouts Devin Aromashodu, Devin Hester, and Johnny Knox, he has no history of tight end usage in the passing game. 2009 Pro Bowler Vernon Davis saw just 49 targets all season under him in 2008, and no Martz TE has ever caught more than 38 passes. We'd guess that Earl Bennett will play in the slot for Martz and potentially be a major asset in PPR leagues.
 Devin Hester-WR - Bears Jan. 10 - 9:46 am et

The Bears will not turn Devin Hester back into a full-time returner, according to beat writer Dan Pompei.
This is a ridiculous notion. Hester was an above average NFL receiver this year and although his return numbers were way down, it can't all be blamed on his receiving duties. Hester will very likely return as a starting wideout next year.
