Free agent wide receiver DJ Chark recently visited the Chicago Bears, NFL Network reported Monday.

He spent the past three seasons with three different teams after playing his first four campaigns in Jacksonville.

Chark was a second-round pick by the Jaguars in 2018 and made the Pro Bowl with a 1,008-yard season in 2019.

He caught just four passes for 31 yards and one touchdown in seven games with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2024.

With NFL teams reporting for training camp this week, Chark said he is still weighing his options.

"It depends," he said, per NFL Network. "It will have to be something that makes sense, from a family perspective and also from an X's and O's perspective. Getting up and going to any team just for the excitement -- I'll always love the game, but at this point, putting myself and my family in a great position is what's ideal for me."

Chark has 216 catches for 3,100 yards and 24 TDs in 76 games (51 starts) for the Jaguars (2018-21), Detroit Lions (2022), Carolina Panthers (2023) and Chargers.
