Neville Gallimore, come on down!
It won’t be made officially official until Wednesday, but the Chicago Bears are in the books with a free-agent addition. And while it is a defensive lineman, it isn’t a name that was previously on our radar. But there is still some intrigue here with defensive tackle Neville Galimore set to join the team.
NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero has the scoop:
The Bears are signing DT Neville Gallimore to a two-year, $12 million deal, sources tell The Insiders. Deal negotiated by @LIFTSPORTSMNGMT
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) March 9, 2026Who is Neville Gallimore? Why are the Bears signing him?
Neville Gallimore is a 29-year-old defensive tackle who will be playing with his fourth team in as many years. Gallimore, a 2020 third-round pick (82nd overall) by the Dallas Cowboys, spent the 2025 season playing for the Indianapolis Colts. While in Indy, Gallimore started eight of the 17 games he played in, collected 3.5 sacks, 4 tackles-for-loss, and six quarterback hits — all career highs. Before his stint in Indy, Gallimore spent a season with the Los Angeles Rams. This came after the Oklahoma University product spent his first four years in Dallas.

What stands out about Neville Gallimore’s 2025 performance is his 70.2 pass-rushing grade from Pro Football Focus. Otherwise, the PFF numbers (56.6 overall grade ranked 77th of 134 interior defensive linemen, 45.8 run-defense grade was 100th/134) are underwhelming. Perhaps Bears Defensive Coordinator Dennis Allen and his coaching staff can help lift Gallimore’s game to another level.

On the surface, the signing piques my interest because I can see Neville Gallimore being part of a rotation of defensive linemen the Bears throw at opposing offenses. I am curious to see who else is on Chicago’s radar at the outset of free agency.
