March 9, 201610 yr comment_155701 I am so glad Atlanta didn't swoop in and steal him. One of the biggest upgrades in one of the biggest needs on the team in a long time. Our ILB's looked like this: https://vine.co/v/eUWEHZELLJv I also like the fact that he is coming from a winning team. Report
March 10, 201610 yr comment_155777 @bradbiggs #Bears contract for LB Danny Trevathan short of the $28M range. Total value is $24.5M with $12M guarannted and $5M signing bonus. Trevathan has $1.5M base salary this season with $3.5M roster bonus. He has annual workout bonuses worth $100K each season. 2017 base $2M 2018 base $5.8M 2019 base $5.8M plus $500K roster bonus Trevathan base salaries in 2016 and 2017 are fully guaranteed. That is insane in this day and age of overpaying free agents. Anyone know what the cap hit would be? Report

March 10, 201610 yr Author comment_155797 I feel like that contract is good value in this market. I expected we'd pay $8mil/yr. Report
