Last season with the Bears, Lewis ranked fifth in run-blocking, according to Pro Football Focus. PFF also gave him a 77.1 grade, which also ranked him fifth among the NFL tight ends. If Lewis were to re-sign with the Bears, this would give them three tight ends who had top-30 PFF grades last year:
5. Marcedes Lewis (77.1)
11. Cole Kmet (73.7)
26. Gerald Everett (65.6)
Lewis, 40, signed a one-year, $2 million deal with the Bears in 2023, reuniting him with his former offensive coordinator, Luke Getsy.
This will be Lewis’ 19th season in the NFL
