The Chicago Bears should give Caleb Williams even more help this offseason. The Bears have surrounded Williams with incredible veteran help with receivers and tight ends.

The Bears already had DJ Moore on their roster with a trade they made with the Carolina Panthers last year. This offseason, they traded to the Los Angeles Chargers for Keenan and added tight end Gerald Everett.

According to Jay Glazer with Fox Sportsthe Bears set to sign veteran tight end Marcedes Lewis:

A little Sunday scoop for @ChicagoBears Fans, @MarcedesLewis89 tells me he's going to Chicago to meet with the team tomorrow with the intention of re-signing there tomorrow. Barring anything unforeseen, this will be Lewis' 19th season as he comes to help a young QB. 19 seasons, unreal #bear

Marcedes Lewis had a good 2023 season

Lewis signed a one-year contract with the Bears last season. He appeared in all 17 games last season and started four games. He caught four receptions for 29 yards and a touchdown. By Focus on professional footballLewis earned a 71.1 grade for his play last season.

Lewis is known more for his blocking abilities than his pass catching. He should be a huge weapon for the Bears offense, creating running lanes for D'Andre Swift and giving Williams time to throw.
