Jerrell Freeman signed a three-year, $12 million deal with the Chicago Bears in 2016. However, they may only end up getting one strong year out of it. After news that Freeman will now likely miss all of 2017 with a torn pectoral, the team could be moving on from Freeman altogether in 2018.
All of the signs are there. Freeman will be 32 next season. 30 is usually the age when players start to see their decline. Freeman has had some injury issues in his past but wound up missing time due to a suspension for Performance Enhancing Drugs in 2016.
