"Devin Hester has lobbied for veteran wide receivers to come in before.

Now, one is finally here, as the Bears have signed Roy Williams, at one time one of the best playmakers in the NFC.

Williams' arrival means a couple things. First, it ends the quest some have been on for a big wide receiver.

"Have we gotten those questions?" coach Lovie Smith said. "But that doesn't really matter an awful lot. We were looking for receivers that we thought could play. Roy brings quite a bit to it. He is big, he can block, but we think he can win the one-on-one battles. We could talk about him quite a bit. I think he's a great talent that it hasn't quite worked for him yet, but hopefully it will. I think we've had some success with some players that it didn't work out somewhere else, then they come here and finish up strong."

Williams' arrival also means Hester could be looking at a redefined role, one with less playing time. Before the Bears made the addition, it looked like Earl Bennett could take some snaps from Hester. Now, the Bears are going to have to juggle to keep everyone in the mix. That's something offensive coordinator Mike Martz has experience doing, and it doesn't sound like it's going to bother Hester one bit."
