Bears fans believe they’ve seen the last of Danny Trevathan in Chicago
The Chicago Bears placed linebacker Danny Trevathan on injured reserve Friday, marking the second time this season that he’s been on IR. Per NFL rules, that means Trevathan’s season is officially over.
With Trevathan’s season done, it’s hard not to wonder if we’ve seen the last of Trevathan in a Bears uniform. Trevathan, who was a solid signing by general manager Ryan Pace in 2015, signed a three-year extension worth $21.75 million back in 2020.
The controversy at the time revolved around which linebacker Chicago would choose to extend — a young, healthy Nick Kwiatkoski or an aging veteran with injury concerns. Pace chose Trevathan, which even at the time left a good portion of fans upset. Now, it’s clear Pace made the wrong choice.
While Trevathan still has one year left on that three-year contract, most Bears fans believe they’ve seen the last of Trevathan in Chicago. If the Bears were to release Trevathan, he’d carry a dead-cap hit of roughly $9 million, not unlike departed cornerback Kyle Fuller. Still, Bears fans are sticking to their guns that Trevathan’s time in Chicago is done.
Have to imagine at this point, last Monday night was the final time we’ll see Danny Trevathan in a #Bears uniform.
If it’s me, I get a better look at Caleb Johnson over these last 8 games.

Danny Trevathan’s season comes to a close and possibly his career with the #Bears https://t.co/u5i2xgMdEL

Guessing Trevathan likely has played his last game as a Bear https://t.co/8HGgT8zvRy

I think DT is done as a Chicago Bear. Time to move on and get younger there. https://t.co/3Ye11JlQOh

Damn. I really like Danny & hoped he had this one last season, but it seems like his knees are toast. https://t.co/0Yu6RUNIBf

This ends Danny’s season and more likely than not, his time with the #Bears. https://t.co/VdCJqMTXrS

1) when did Danny get hurt? Might be the end of him on #Bears
2) yay!
3) glad they aren't punishing Marsh#DaBears https://t.co/V5dxJ5WdOe

DT has to be gone at the end of the year. Take the cap hit in 2022 to clear the books on him.

Goodbye Danny Trevathan

Might be the end of Danny’s tenure here

DT should do the decent thing and retire. Come up with some cap-friendly settlement and go.

Also feels like the Trevathan IR is the same as when Kyle Long went on IR in 2019. Like "we don't think you've got it anymore, but we can't cut you, so just go on IR."
Trevathan costs $9m in dead cap money next year if he's cut too… So good luck with that one, Bears#DaBears

This is probably the end of the Danny Trevathan era in Chicago and it honestly was a good one. Always seemed like a good guy, had a bunch of moments in 2018 with that defense and his 2019 game against Washington is particularly memorable. Too bad it ended with a million IR stints

It's safe to say Trevathan is done in Chicago. #chicagobears

Wow, sucks we lose Danny Trevathan for the season. I believe this is his last rodeo with us! He's done everything you could ask a Middle linebacker to do! The man already has a superbowl ring, what else is their left to prove. Go be a assistant coach Danny T, live your life 🐻⬇️

King Pace does it again! https://t.co/3WLgRFZTTC

This probably ends Danny T’s time with the Bears. I’ll say this, I have a ton of appreciation for everyone on that 2018 Defense and will be sad when they go. https://t.co/am37jMpnaI

Dude Trevathan fell off so hard after that extension what the hell https://t.co/knWP4NgPKR
— Payton (@paytonisnotroll) November 19, 2021
Yeah that’s the last time he’s seen in a bears jersey
— Matthew (@matt_langel58) November 19, 2021
As a bears fan, he’s washed. The defense fell off massively. Time to rebuild around Justin and trade Mack Robinson, etc
