So much for the backup plan.

Well that really sucks. 

I get that we can't afford everybody, but it is concerning that we've lost or top two back-up ILBs from last year.  Especially considering we resigned the oft injured Mr. Trevathan, who has missed on average 4.5 games a year.   His starting ILB partner missed 3 games last year too.

That’s what happens when they play well but you’re right about our ‘starting ILBs’, they have a concerning injury history.  
 

Looks like ILB just moved up a few notches in importance.

That is a concern, but injuries are very hard to plan for. Each slot has a value, and even though Kwit and KPL did really good when they played, you can't keep everyone. Clearly the team felt that Trevathan was the one guy they had to retain.

Right now the Bears are in line for 3x 6th Round comp picks (Kwit and Quinn cancel out), then Daniel, KPL, and Williams all qualify as 6th Round comps for 2021. That is decent considering that is all the Bears got for Howard.

I agree Trevathan gets hurt a lot but you can't pay everyone.  Its time for  Iggy or Woods to step up.
