For this blog post I will be discussing the Bears recent free agent acquisitions.
Danny Trevathan:
- This was by far the biggest signing so far in the Ryan Pace era. Adding Trevathan makes everyone else on the defensive side of the ball a lot better. He is a rock at 6-1, 260 pounds who can cover the middle of the field also. He is coming off a couple of injuries back in 2014 but at 26 years old he should be the center of this Bears defense for a least five or six years. Even though he is only 26 he has a lot of experience playing with a top three defense in Denver last year. Trevathan has expressed that one of his biggest reasons for signing with the Bears is his positive relationship with John Fox.
Jerrell Freeman:
- This was an under the radar move that could end up being one of the best off season moves. I will admit that I didnt know a lot about Freeman before this spring. The Bears and Ryan Pace were able to get a solid starting linebacker without overpaying him. Freeman has been one of the most underrated linebackers in the NFL the last couple years with the Colts. With Freeman and Trevathan, the Bears linebackers are now consider one of the best groups in the league. Just like Trevathan, Freeman cited his relationship with John Fox as one of the main reasons for signing with the Bears. It really helps out a team like the Bears when players will take less to play for a coach they really want to play for.
