Rashied Davis will sign the one-year tender offer the Bears made him this afternoon.

Agent Wynn Silberman confirmed the wide receiver will return to the team this season. Davis had been shopping himself as a restricted free agent. The deadline for RFA’s to sign offer sheets is tonight at 11, and Davis doesn’t have anything brewing so he will put his signature to a contract that will pay him $927,000 in 2008.



The slot receiver emerged as a valuable member of the offense in 2006, winning the game at Minnesota with a touchdown catch, and making a critical third-down reception in the overtime victory over Seattle in the playoffs. But he struggled to get involved last season as the offense broke down. Davis made only 17 catches for 165 yards, although he did establish himself more on special teams.

The good news is that the Chicago Bears have signed a receiver. The bad news is that he was already on the roster. The Bears announced on Wednesday that they have agreed to terms with Rashied Davis on the three-year deal. Davis previously was a restricted free agent, and he only recently signed his one-year RFA tender.
Davis joined the Bears in 2005 after four years in the Arena Football League. He was a cornerback and a kick returner, and he then converted to receiver in 2006.
