The Chicago Bears signed veteran tight end James O’Shaughnessy to a one-year deal on Monday, adding another homegrown tight end to the roster alongside Cole Kmet.
O’Shaughnessy, a former fifth-round pick by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2015, has played seven NFL seasons with the Chiefs (2015-16) and Jacksonville Jaguars (2017-21). He has 112 catches for 1,108 yards and three touchdowns.
The move doesn’t come as a surprise given the Ryan Poles connection, as Poles served as a college scouting director in Kansas City when the Chiefs drafted O’Shaughnessy.
