The Facts: The Bears reportedly are turning to Santonio Holmes to try to fill their No. 3 receiver role. The former New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers pass-catcher agreed to terms on a contract with the Bears, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Saturday.

Diehards Line: Chicago has been searching for a third-wheel to add to the Brandon Marshall-Alshon Jeffery duo ever since Marquess Wilson suffered a fractured clavicle earlier this month. ... Eric Weems, better known as a return man, worked in that spot during Thursday's 20-19 preseason win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Weems, however, quickly proved he was not the answer. The Bears worked out Holmes earlier this month but then chose to sign little-known Greg Herd instead. Now that they see what they have at the No. 3 receiver spot, the team decided Homes was worth the risk. If he is mentally and physically healthy, Holmes can be a dynamic add to an already potent offense and should win the No. 3 job over Weems and Josh Morgan. That is one big "if," however.
