The Chicago Bears added to their wide receiver room with the expected signing of Kalif Raymond to a one-year deal after most recently playing for the Detroit Lions.

It will be a reunion for Raymond with Bears head coach Ben Johnson, where the two worked together in Detroit when Johnson served as offensive coordinator from 2022-2024, before becoming the Bears head coach prior to the 2025 season. Raymond also reunites with wide receivers coach Antwaan Randle-El, who coached him with the Lions.

After playing for the Denver Broncos, New York Giants, and Tennessee Titans to begin his career, Raymond found a home with Detroit in 2021, where he spent five seasons as part of their offense and a crucial part of their special teams game as well.

Raymond's impact was not only felt on field, but also in the locker room, and that was made evident when Lions superstar wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown bid farewell to who he called "was "the greatest teammate I've ever had" as the pair where locker roommates since St. Brown's rookie season.

This will certainly continue to add fuel to the heated rivalry between the Bears and Lions, especially with St. Brown, who has been open about his disappointment that the Bears poached his former offensive coordinator last season.

While Chicago had plenty of success in the 2025 season winning the NFC North title, they did get swept by Detroit in the regular season. So Johnson is still looking to get his first win against his former team once the 2026 season begins.
