The 29-year old Bellamy has played for both Adam Gase and Dowell Loggains but has just 76 catches and five touchdowns since entering the league in 2012. His best season saw him catch 24 passes for 376 yards in 2017, but he's never had a 100-yard game.
Bellamy has most likely been targeted for his special teams prowess. He played the gunner role with the Bears and has 23 career tackles and a fumble recovery on a muffed punt in his career.
