[CBFF] CT: Bears give Hillenmeyer 5-year extension

[Jim Ferolie]

Alphonso Boone has a 5-year deal. There's nothing wrong with a long 
contract. You just don't want it to be a long big one. Given the new salary 
cap structure, a No. 4 linebacker at 1.5 mil per season is fine, if that's 
what it is.
