The Bears on Monday agreed to terms with tight end Zach Miller on a two-year contract.
Miller's emergence was one of the team's most pleasant surprises in 2015. After missing the previous three full seasons primarily due to injuries, he caught 34 passes for 439 yards and a team-leading five touchdowns in the first 15 games before missing the finale with a toe injury.
The success was a long time coming for Miller, who hadn't played in an NFL game since 2011. After appearing in 33 contests with five starts with the Jaguars from 2009-11, he spent the 2012 season on injured reserve with the Jaguars, failed to make the Buccaneers roster in 2013 and landed on injured reserve again with the Bears in 2014.
