The moment the Browns released Harris on Monday, he became a popular candidate to reunite with Matt Nagy in Chicago. Harris played tight end with the Chiefs from 2014-2018, including in 2017 when Matt Nagy served as offensive coordinator.

Now, Harris is certainly no Travis Kelce (and the Bears will likely target a bigger name(s) in free agency and the NFL Draft to fill that role.) But Harris is familiar with Nagy’s system and you figure Nagy has enough familiarity with Harris to believe he can help the Bears in 2020.
