The Bears are releasing linebacker Danny Trevathan, reports the Chicago Tribune’s, Brad Biggs. It’s the latest move in GM Ryan Poles’ purge of much of Chicago’s current roster.
Trevathan, 31, signed with the Bears during 2016’s free agency after winning Super Bowl 50 with the Broncos. He eventually became a key piece and leader of Chicago’s No. 1 defense during the 2018 season. But, of course, as they often do in pro football, injuries defined the latter portions of Trevathan’s career in Chicago.
The Bears placed the veteran Trevathan on injured reserve twice in his last three seasons.
