Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Bears are signing TE Demetrius Harris to a one-year contract.
Rapoport notes that Harris spent time with Bears HC Matt Nagy while they were together in Kansas City.
It’s worth mentioning that signing Harris to a contract will not factor into the Bears’ 2021 compensatory picks, given that he was released.
Harris, 28, wound up signing a with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent back in 2014. He played basketball at out of UW-Milwaukee before transitioning to a football career.
The Chiefs later signed Harris to a three-year, $6.3 million contract in 2016. From there, he joined the Browns on a two-year contract last March, but Cleveland elected to cut him loose on Monday.
In 2019, Harris appeared in 15 games for the Browns and caught 15 passes for 149 yards receiving and three touchdowns.
