Nobody is going to say revisionist history. When the Chicago Bears extended Danny Trevathan in 2020, it raised eyebrows from most, if not everybody. Do not be mistaken, the fanbase has loved Danny Trevathan, but the feeling was that his time was up.
Trevathan could not stay healthy and was at the age of 30 when he was due for new money. Paying an injured and aging veteran at a position like a linebacker is risky, and the Bears have been good at letting injured players walk and being on the better end of it.
