The Bears had 10 tight ends on their 90-man roster, so it was clear that there were going to be cuts at the position in the near future.

Raymond, 25, wound up going undrafted out of Utah State last year. He later signed a three-year, $1.755 million contract with the Bears.

However, Raymond was waived with an injury settlement coming out of the preseason. From there, he was re-signed to the Bears’ practice squad in October and eventually returned to Chicago on a futures contract for the 2020 season.

During his college career at Utah State, Raymond caught 72 passes for 873 yards receiving and three touchdowns over the course of 27 games.
