Nick Perry signs 1 year deal

So the Bears signed Jerrel Freeman to a 3 year 12 million dollar deal with 6 guaranteed. The Packers could not have done this to help improve the MLB? I would have rather done a deal like this over a 1 year 5 million deal for a backup OLB.
 
The Bears and the Packers are taking polar opposite strategies in building their LB corps. Gonna be veeeery interesting to see how the two crews compare when the bullets fly.

GB has drafted and kept it's own, except for street UFA Peppers (Joe Thomas hardly had time to unpack in Dallas before returning).

Da Bears have signed a #¤%&load of UFAs: Two ILBs this year, and still have OLBs McPhee, Willie Young and Lamarr Houston left from last two years' UFA haul. Heck, out of their notables, only UDFAs Christian Jones and Jonathan Anderson are home-grown.

Looking at Chicago, two things struck me:

1) Chicago has sucked massively at drafting LBs. Jon Bostic, Khaseem Green, Shea McClellin.... Wow! Their last good LB pick was Lance Briggs in 2003! And it's not much better even if you include pass rushing DEs...

2) They haven't had a chance to draft many, because of how very few draft picks they've had. 2010-2015, they averaged just six picks per draft. During same period, the Packers averaged 8.8. We've had whoppin' 17 more picks in 6 years than them! Both teams have 9 this year.

Oh yeah, chicago sux
 
Bears switched to a 3-4 under Fox so they are spending to try to get the change done quick instead of going slow thru the draft. It's a big gamble will it pay off who knows.

Would've been nice and quicker if Ted tried that...for once! Look how long it took to fill the Safety position. bh(
 
So much for the argument that he didn't want to play in a 3-4 and would look for a landing spot as a DE.
