The Chicago Bears are signing veteran defensive tackle Neville Gallimore to a two-year contract worth $12 million, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network and "The Insiders."
The agreement was negotiated by LIFT Sports Management. Gallimore joins a Chicago Bears defense that has been focused on strengthening its front four. The 27-year-old defensive tackle brings significant NFL experience to the Bears locker room, having appeared in over 50 career games since entering the league.
Gallimore, a former third-round pick out of Oklahoma, spent the first four seasons of his career with the Dallas Cowboys before a brief stint with the Miami Dolphins. The $6 million average annual value of the deal reflects the Bears' commitment to improving their interior defensive rotation alongside established starters.
The signing is the latest move in a busy offseason for the Chicago Bears front office. Further details regarding the structure of the contract and guaranteed money have not yet been disclosed by the team or the player's representation.
