The Bears are signing Demetrius Harris, who played tight end for the Chiefs under Matt Nagy, to a one-year deal, per NFL Network.
The 6-7, 230-pounder spent the first five years of his career with the Chiefs — three while Nagy was working on the team’s offensive staff. The Browns signed him to a two-year, $6 million deal last year, but cut him earlier this month. The 28-year-old Wisconsin-Milwaukee alum caught 15 passes for 149 yards and three touchdowns in his lone season in Cleveland. He has 72 catches for 754 yards in his career.
The Bears are desperate for tight end depth after Trey Burton was hampered all last season following groin surgery, catching 14 passes for 84 yards before landing on injured reserve.
