Jimmy Graham will remain in the NFC North in 2020, as the Chicago Bears have agreed to a two-year, $16-million contract with the free-agent tight end, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Graham, who spent the last two seasons with the Green Bay Packers, will earn $9 million guaranteed under his new deal, Schefter adds.

A five-time Pro Bowler and one of the league's premier offensive weapons over the last decade, the 33-year-old has seen his play decline in recent years. After a productive final campaign with the Seattle Seahawks in 2017, Graham has accumulated 93 catches, 1,083 receiving yards, and five touchdowns since inking a three-year contract worth $30 million with Green Bay in 2018.

The addition of Graham helps Chicago address a position of need heading into the 2020 campaign. Current starter Trey Burton missed eight games while battling injuries last season.
