Chicago Bears will reportedly add veteran receiver, returner Kalif Raymond for 1-year, $5.1 million deal
Kalif Raymond joins the Chicago Bears on a one-year, $5.1 million deal to boost special teams and wide receiver depth, reuniting with coach Ben Johnson.
- NFL reports say the Bears agreed on Tuesday to sign Kalif Raymond, wide receiver and return specialist, to a one-year, $5.1 million contract, confirmed by NFL Network, Ian Rapoport, ESPN, and Enter Sports Management.
- The Bears sought added speed and special-teams help as Raymond's offensive role waned in Detroit, making him available for depth behind Rome Odunze and Luther Burden.
- Raymond set Detroit's career punt-return yards record with 1,485 yards and earned Second-Team All-Pro honors in 2022 and 2024, with 171 catches for 2,185 yards in five seasons.
- The move gives Chicago an immediate special-teams boost by filling returner and receiver-depth needs, giving special-teams coordinator Richard Hightower a new return specialist.
- As a reunion, the signing links Ben Johnson's system to a familiar return specialist, with Raymond, 31, producing his best numbers under Johnson in Detroit during five seasons.
