But All He Does Is Return Kicks?
 Devin Hester and the Chicago Bears agreed to a four-year contract extension that will pay Devin No. 1 receiver money.
The new contract runs through 2013 and can be worth $40 million when you factor in performance goals along the way. The deal includes $15 million in guaranteed money.
Thing is, Hester isn't a No. 1 receiver yet. He sure is fast and can certainly run well with the ball in the open field. But nothing in his performances over the last two years has shown that he is a No. 1 receiver.
Hester certainly is a talented football player that the Bears want on their team - and I enjoy having Hester on the Bears - but I think this extension might have been a tad premature. I would have preferred seeing Hester prove that he can learn the Wide Receiver position (something he was unable to do while in college) before getting paid like a top WR talent.Labels: Chicago Bears
