To be fair, it's really the guaranteed amount that matters (and those details I don't have), not the contract length. So we'll see. Bears do have one of the best cap guys around, so I'm sure he worked the usual math magic.

Franchising him would have likely been hugely more expensive in terms of cap hit, I'm guessing. And the Bears have a LOT of players they need to sign.
