‘Trash’: Former Chicago Bears WR, All-Pro blasts organization, ownership

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Chicago Bears chairman George McCaskey (C) listens as new head coach Ben Johnson answers questions during a introductory press conference at PNC Center.

The Chicago Bears have been known to leave former wide receivers as dissatisfied customers. Brandon Marshall claimed in 2022 that the organization was run like a mom-and-pop shop.

Given Chicago’s poor history at quarterback, it’s not too surprising that wide receivers might leave with a sour taste in their mouth. After all, the Bears are the place where receivers go to die, per Muhsin Muhammad.

A former Chicago Bears wide receiver calls ownership “trash”

During a recent episode of the “New Rory & MAL” podcast, former Bears wide receiver Victor Cruz took a shot at everything from Bears ownership to the coaching staff he worked under with John Fox. Cruz claimed the New York Giants, who signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2010, were superior to Chicago.

It was the Bears, yeah,” Cruz said of where he finished his NFL career in 2017. “I was there for a little cup of coffee. It’s funny because once I transitioned, you know, the stigma, or not the stigma, but something they tell you in the league often is like, ‘Oh, it ain’t, you know, when you leave the Giants, it ain’t the same everywhere.’

“And I’m like, well, I’m going to the Bears, a heralded organization, been around for a hundred years. Like, they absolutely run a high-level organization there. And I got there and I was looking around, I was like, this (expletive) is trash. Food was trash, ownership was trash, coaching staff was trash… It was just awful. In comparison to the Giants, where it was like gourmet, we got packaged lunch.”

Cruz didn’t last long on the Bears

Cruz won Super Bowl XLVI with the Giants. He earned All-Pro honors in 2011 and a Pro Bowl appearance in 2012, working with Eli Manning.

Cruz didn’t see the field at all in 2017 after being signed by Chicago in May. He was released on Sept. 2 and never signed with another team. Chicago went 5-11 in 2017 before Fox was fired.

Cruz didn’t miss out working with Bears quarterbacks that season, as Mike Glennon started the first four games before the team turned to rookie quarterback Mitchell Trubisky in Week 5.
