Bears’ Shea McClellin: ‘I’d love to be back’

Free-agent-to-be Shea McClellin played limited snaps during Sunday’s loss to the Lions after being cleared from concussion protocol Saturday.

“I’d love to be back if they want me,” he said. “If not, I’ll move on.”

He wants to stay at inside linebacker, wherever he goes. McClellin thinks he’s found a home at the position after playing defensive end and outside linebacker in his first four years int he NFL.

“It’s been a tough four years moving around positions,” he said. “It’d be nice to stay at one. “

McClellin played in 12 games, starting 11, in his first year at inside linebacker.

I don’t want to move positions again,” he said. “I feel like that’s the right fit. Hopefully I can stay around here and do that.”
