The Chicago Bears are signing veteran tight end Jesse James to a one-year deal, reports NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.
James spent the past two seasons with the Detroit Lions and the previous four with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The 27-year-old averaged 135.5 receiving yards over the last two campaigns. James has also averaged just under two touchdowns per season across his career.
He joins a tight end room that includes veteran Jimmy Graham, 2020 draft pick Cole Kmet, JP Holtz, and Jake Butt.
