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

[Jim Ferolie]

Just because he might not be a long-term answer at SLB does not mean he's 
not considered a valuable contributor either as a starter or backup. He's 
not really getting starter dollars. Just like how they gave Peterson a 
long-term deal. Or how Patrick Mannelly has a 10-year contract.
