The Chicago Bears are making an impact on their offense in free agency.
According to multiple reports, the team has signed tight end Jimmy Graham to a two-year, $16 million deal, including $9 million guaranteed. In 2019, Graham caught 38 passes for 447 yards and three touchdowns. It was the worst-season performance-wise for the 33-year old since his rookie year in 2010. However, he is a huge addition to the offense even though the high signing bonus seems a little excessive for someone his age. The Bears also added tight end, Demetrius Harris, to the TE group this offseason to bolster their beleaguered offense. Jimmy Graham is signing a 2-year deal with the Chicago Bears per @AdamSchefter
For team short on resources and big on TE need, not sure I get #Bears guaranteeing 33-year-old Jimmy Graham $9M in 2-year deal. Not at this stage of his career. Saints past with Ryan Pace surely drove this but Graham's not that guy anymore--and too similar to Burton. Baffling.
