After reportedly acquiring one Bear via a trade Wednesday, the New England Patriots appear to be adding another Monster of the Midway.
ESPN's Adam Schefter — who earlier Wednesday reported that the Bears traded tight end Martellus Bennett to the Patriots — tweeted Wednesday night that linebacker Shea McClellin agreed to a three-year deal with the Patriots.

McClellin was the Bears' first-round draft pick, No. 19 overall, in the 2012 NFL Draft. The Boise State product started his career in Chicago as a defensive lineman before switching to linebacker a couple offseasons ago.
In four seasons with the Bears, McClellin appeared in 52 games and recorded 161 total tackles and 7.5 sacks. Last season, McClellin played in 12 of the team's 16 games, recording 81 tackles.
