Trevathan extended

[Rob219_CBMB]

per Brad Biggs - "Bears have re-signed Trevathan, who was set to be an unrestricted free agent Wednesday, to a three-year contract. One source said the deal can total $24 million."

Linebacker Danny Trevathan returning to the Bears on a 3-year deal, report says

Danny Trevathan represents one of the best of many moves general manager Ryan Pace has made in free agency, the rare big-dollar signing to play out his entire contract. Trevathan did so well for th…

oh fuck..so that's a possible 8/8/8? definitely cut Floyd.

 

[Bear_Assed]

Doesn’t the nfl also factor in what free agents a team signs in the offseason for comp picks, not just those who sign elsewhere? Which is why we had to cut mike davis to get the Amos comp pick last year.

 

[wazzupi]

I bet it will be 3.5M/year for 3 years with 1 year guaranteed. I actually like this move. If they can sign KPL for around 1M/year for 2 years and sign a young FA or draft a guy, I think we'll be fine at LB.

If it's this cheap I hope he gets injured for the bears sake and kpl plays instead.

 

[ZOMBIE@CTESPN]

We knew they were going to keep one between trevethan and kwit especially after smith injury

 

[remydat]

Would have preferred to let him walk but as long as the money is reasonable not a big deal. He will be decent for the 8-10 games a year he plays.

Yes, and Trevathan is the better player. Like every deal there’s an element of risk, if he stays healthy it will be seen as a good decision. If he spends a lot of time injured it won’t be.

 

[Toast88]

Danny Trevathan is 29 years old.

I get that's not 25, but people are acting like he's 35 or something.

 

[Toast88]

My only squabble with this deal is that because of Trevathan’s major injury, I might’ve just let the market set the terms instead of setting them myself before free agency—maybe could’ve gotten a discount. But I suppose if the Bears believe this is a good financial deal for them to hold onto a good player who’s still not over the hill, I can’t argue too much with that.

 

[BearDownZZ]

I'm guessing this is a fairly low guarantee with backloaded incentive laden contract. The big number has good optics for a veteran but due to his age and injury history I doubt he got much up front and I believe his cap cost this year will be relatively low. If we gave him a huge guarantee then we are stupid.

I would have rather had Kwit but I'm guessing people will be shocked what he gets in free agency. Especially the guarantee.

 

[dennehy]

This should be a backloaded deal that is really a reasonable 2 year contract with $10mil or so guaranteed and a third year that will likely never matter.

Nick is obviously the player who teams project will be more valuable over the next 3-4 years.

 

[Mdbearz]

Kudos to Nick for earning his pay day!!! I wish we would have the cash to make him an offer that is close to the Market, but that is not in the cards this year.

I would love to see him play with the Ravens so I could watch him every week...

 

[MDB111™]

bit odd innit

Maybe it frees up some dough to sign Kwit?

 

[rawdawg]

I don't love this move. I'd imagine Trevathan is at least counting 6M against the cap this year. I would have rather gone with a combo of Pierre-Louis and someone like Darron Lee (former 1st round pick w/ a lot of speed and ST ability) for a similar cap hit. With Trevathan, you probably still need another ILB on the roster for necessary depth.

But I can't complain about signing a good player.

They should and i hope they do turn to bringing KPL back for that 3rd ILB role. If we can get both Trevathan and KPL for right around the same price Kwiat would of cost then i'm pretty happy with that.

 

[iueyedoc]

Bears should get a pretty good comp pick for Kwiatkoski next season. He is expected to sign a large contract.

Kwiatkowski is a solid ILB with below average coverage skills that flashes with some big hits. He is going to get way overpaid by someone.

The only reason I’m for this signing is smith got injured late in the year. Otherwise I would have just signed kpl and another cheaper talent.

 

[RubberBanMan]

cool hopefully he can stay healthy

Nick Kwiatkoski is Ryan Pace's Danieal Manning. A late bloomer who finally figures it out in the last year of his rookie deal before departing. The same was almost true of Kyle Fuller but the Bears matched the Packers offer.

...or he peaked in a few games in 2019 and will never be heard of again - like Cam Meredith.

Cam Meredith had a horrible knee injury derailing his career. Not really a comparison.

A guy who had a few good games one season and then got a big pay deal was Trey Burton.
