Perriman agreed Wednesday with the Bears on a one-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The division-rival Lions released Perriman a day earlier, opting instead for the likes of Kalif Raymond, Trinity Benson, Tom Kennedy and KhaDarel Hodge to fill out their depth chart at receiver. Being cut by Detroit wasn't a great sign for Perriman's NFL future, but it's worth noting that the Lions are in Year 1 of a rebuild, whereas Bears head coach Matt Nagy is arguably facing a make-or-break season. Perriman could now challenge Marquise Goodwin for the No. 3 receiver spot in Chicago.
