The Bears agreed to sign a backup tight end with experience in new offensive coordinator Shane Waldron’s system: the Chargers' Gerald Everett. He'll get a two-year, $12 million deal with $6.1 million guaranteed, a source confirmed.

Everett, who turns 30 in June, played under Waldron when he was a Rams assistant and the last three years alongside new Chargers receivers coach Chris Beatty.

He'll give the Bears their most productive No.
