Chicago Bears

Due to a season-ending injury against the Detroit Lions, [3] Bradley was a small part of the Bears 2005 offense, starting only eight games, and recording just 18 receptions for 230 yards.

Following an injury to Bernard Berrian during week nine of the 2006 season, Bradley became a productive asset for the Bears’ offense. While filling in for Berrian in the following weeks, Bradley caught two touchdown passes for 202 yards. He scored a 75-yard touchdown during the season finale in a 26-7 loss to the Green Bay Packers.

Bradley was released by the Bears on September 23, 2008 after the team signed cornerback Marcus Hamilton.

Kansas City Chiefs
