A classic injury-replacement depth signing that keeps the Bears' linebacker corps functional. Headlines confirm Hampton replaces Reeves-Maybin after Bears' win over Pittsburgh exposed roster depth issues. The key signal is Hampton's versatility — he's logged snaps at both safety and linebacker in Washington. Fans are more focused on the underlying injury concerns than Hampton himself. Expect a short-term role player who moves on once the Bears return to full health.

This signing grades out as a significant overpay for the Chicago Bears — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Dominique's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL LBs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.0M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the LB market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Dominique is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
