Jerrell Freeman signs with Bears for $4 million per year

The Colts now have an important position on defense to fill this offseason after middle linebacker Jerrell Freeman opted to sign with the Chicago Bears. The deal is reportedly for three years and worth $12 million, with $6 million guaranteed.

The Colts are now left with an aging, and limited, D’Qwell Jackson and a number of question marks to fill the void left by Freeman’s departure. They still have Sio Moore and Nate Irving, but it remains to be seen if either can bring the versatility that Freeman did last season.
