Chicago Bears, Kalif Raymond, Detroit Lions, NFL free agency

There were very few who questioned the Chicago Bears trading wide receiver DJ Moore to the Buffalo Bills last week. The move not only gave the Bears much-needed salary cap space, but also removed a veteran wide receiver in favor of the young pass catchers that emerged as legitimate threats in 2025.

That being said, it also affected Chicago’s depth at the position. At the start of NFL free agency, many wondered if the Bears might look to the open market to find some quality depth.

And, as it turns out, they have.

The Chicago Bears have signed Kalif Raymond away from the Detroit Lions

Chicago Bears, Kalif Raymond, Detroit Lions, NFL free agency — Detroit Lions punt returner Kalif Raymond (11) runs against Philadelphia Eagles during the first half at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Sunday, November 16, 2025.

This morning, it was reported that Chicago has agreed to a one-year $5.1 million contract with Kalif Raymond, formerly of the Detroit Lions:

Former #Lions WR and return-specialist Kalif Raymond is expected to sign with the #Bears, reuniting with Ben Johnson and WRs coach Antwaan Randle El in Chicago.

This signing, obviously, reunites Raymond with Bears head coach Ben Johnson and wide receivers coach Antwaan Randal El.

Last year, Raymond had 24 receptions for 289 yards and a touchdown. However, his biggest contribution to Detroit, and probably now to Chicago, is his kick/punt returning capabilities.

Twice in his career, Raymond has been named Second Team All-Pro as a kick return specialist. The last time this happened was in 2024 when he led the NFL with 413 punt return yards and a touchdown.

Last year, he led the league with 32 punt returns, which he took for 241 yards and a touchdown. In fact, Raymond has one punt return touchdown in three of the last four years.

This is not going to be signing that jumps off the page of NFL free agent rankings, but his big play ability on special teams could make him a very important piece late in the season.
