"Raymond, 31, has nine years of NFL experience - with the last five seasons coming as a member of the Lions. The Holy Cross product's best years came in Detroit, with his most notable seasons coming while Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson was the Lions' offensive coordinator and Antwaan Randle El was his position coach."
"In 2022, Raymond caught 47 passes for 616 yards. Raymond didn't score a touchdown, but he was still productive. A year later, he snagged 35 receptions for 489 yards and a score. For what it's worth, Raymond's most productive season came in 2021 when he caught 48 of 71 targets for 576 yards and four touchdowns."
"Kalif Raymond is someone who figures to do a bunch of dirty work underneath as a third or fourth option in the offense. That is the type of role Raymond can thrive in as a member of the Bears. With Luther Burden III, Rome Odunze, and Colston Loveland ahead of him in the pass-catching pecking order."
Kalif Raymond, a 31-year-old receiver with nine NFL seasons, joined the Chicago Bears on a one-year contract worth $5.1 million.
