"The Bears signed wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus to a one-year deal in March 2025 with the intent of rounding out the receivers' room. Zaccheaus finished the season catching three passes for 313 yards and scoring a pair of touchdowns. He also found paydirt in the team's playoff win against the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card Round."
"Zaccheaus had some good moments in Chicago, but issues with drops caused him to fall out of favor and lose playing time. After playing on 58.3 percent of the offensive snaps in his first nine games this past season, OZ saw his playing time trimmed down the stretch. Zaccheaus saw a 47.1 percent snap share in the final seven games of the regular season."
"Given the presence of Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III ahead of him on the depth chart, and the potential to be passed up by Jahdae Walker, a path to returning to the Bears in 2026 felt difficult. With that being said, Olamide Zaccheaus' departure creates another new opening in the Bears' wide receivers room."
Olamide Zaccheaus signed a one-year deal with the Chicago Bears in March 2025 to strengthen their receiver room. During the 2025 season, he caught three passes for 313 yards and two touchdowns, including a playoff touchdown against Green Bay. However, drop issues caused him to lose playing time as the season progressed, declining from 58.3 percent snap share in his first nine games to 47.1 percent in the final seven regular season games. With limited opportunities in the playoffs and established receivers Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III ahead of him, Zaccheaus departs Chicago to reunite with the Atlanta Falcons, where he played from 2019 to 2022.
