During the first day of the official start of the 2016 NFL season, the Chicago Bears wasted no time in getting the player that they wanted. Inside linebacker Danny Trevathan inked a four-year deal with the Bears worth $24.4 million. Following the signing of Trevathan, Chicago also agreed to terms with right tackle Bobbie Massie. Both of these additions have given the Bears more room to maneuver in the upcoming draft in late April.
Trevathan’s presence in the middle of Chicago’s linebacking corps will definitely be an immediate upgrade from Shea McClellin, whose future in the Windy City is uncertain.
