The Chicago Bears have agreed to terms with veteran tight end Marcedes Lewis on a one-year, $2 million deal.
Lewis, 39, is entering his 18th NFL season, breaking a tie for the most seasons ever played by a tight end. He’s one of the best blocking tight ends in the NFL and an experienced veteran with a knowledge of Luke Getsy’s system.
Lewis gives the Bears more depth at tight end alongside Cole Kmet and Robert Tonyan, another former Packer, as well as a veteran presence in the locker room.
We spoke to Zach Kruse of Packers Wire, who gave us the rundown on what we can expect from the Bears’ new tight end and why he could be a good fit for Chicago.
