Many believed that last year would be Trevathan’s last in a Bears uniform, given the salary cap restrictions. However, he signed a three-year, $21.8 million contract extension in March. The 30-year-old has struggled to consistently remain healthy, landing on the injured reserve twice in four seasons.

In 2018, Trevathan proved what he was capable of over a 16-game slate, recording a combined 102 tackles, including eight tackles for loss, two sacks, and six pass deflections. He had a gruesome elbow injury that officially ended his year in 2019. His production was severely limited in his final three games, recording a combined 15 tackles after tallying 22 in the previous two games before that.
