Bears' Jerrell Freeman is one of the best values in the NFL

Depending on your point of view, new Chicago Bears' inside linebacker Jerrell Freeman is either giving the Bears tremendous value with his $4 million cap hit this season, or he's severely underpaid. The 30 year old Freeman, who was one of the better free agent inside linebackers seeking work this offseason, signed a 3 year deal worth $12 million, including $6 million guaranteed with the Bears shortly after they inked ILB Danny Trevathan. The two new ILBs are a serious upgrade over the duo of Shea McClellin and Christian Jones from last year.
