Lewis has played 17 seasons, including the last five for the Packers.

The Bears are adding longtime tight end Marcedes Lewis, NFL Network reported, a day after agreeing to a deal with veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue.

At 39, Lewis is the oldest player on the roster; the Bears have just six players 30 or older. If he makes the team, this will be his 18th NFL season.

Lewis was a favorite of former Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who often gave shoutouts to “Big Dog” in his press conferences.
