Neville Gallimore's $0.8M deal with the Bears represents solid value for a rotational defensive tackle, earning a C+ CVI that reflects getting adequate production at a reasonable price point. At just $800K annually, Chicago is paying backup money for a player who has shown flashes of being a capable run-stuffer and occasional pass rusher during his time in Dallas, making this a low-risk gamble with decent upside potential. The former third-round pick is still in his prime years and brings the kind of interior presence that can eat blocks and provide depth behind Chicago's projected starters. With minimal guaranteed money likely involved, the Bears face virtually no downside if Gallimore doesn't pan out, while the modest investment could pay dividends if he steps into a larger role. This fits Chicago's pattern of smart, budget-conscious moves to shore up their defensive front without breaking the bank, giving them a serviceable piece who could outperform his contract if he stays healthy.
