When the Chicago Bears signed Danny Trevathan, Christian Jones thought he would have a new starting mate at inside linebacker to replace Shea McClellin. When the Bears signed Jerrell Freeman, Jones knew he was out of a starting job. Shortly thereafter, the Bears drafted Nick Kwiatkoski and Jones had to wonder if he was even going to be on the roster in 2016.
That’s why the Bears announcing that Jones will now be competing for a roster spot at outside linebacker makes a lot of sense for all parties.
#Bears Christian Jones has been working at OLB, not inside.
