Freeman, 32, played in parts of six NFL seasons, most recently with the Bears from 2016-17. Originally an undrafted free agent in 2008, Freeman played in the CFL from 2009-2011 before signing with the Indianapolis Colts in 2012.
The Bears signed Freeman to a three-year contract in March 2016, though he played in just 12 games that season before getting suspended for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances.
