Tight end Marcedes Lewis will play his 18th season as a member of the Chicago Bears, agreeing to a one-year deal on Friday.
Lewis, 39, was a first-round pick in 2006 and spent the past five seasons with the Green Bay Packers after 12 years in Jacksonville.
By playing in Year 18, Lewis becomes the only tight end in NFL history to play beyond a 17th season, breaking a tie with Tony Gonzalez and Jason Witten.
Last season, Lewis caught six passes -- two for touchdowns -- with Green Bay Packers.
