Kyle Long - G - Bears

Bears signed No. 20 overall pick OL Kyle Long to a four-year contract.

The Bears' selection of Long was initially classified as a reach, but it has since been reported that both the Colts and Packers were eyeing the highly athletic lineman at the bottom of round one. Long is expected to line up at right guard as a rookie, but he can also play left guard and right tackle.
Dwight Freeney - DL - Chargers

Chargers agreed to terms with DE/OLB Dwight Freeney, formerly of the Colts, on a two-year contract.

33-year-old Freeney recorded 12 tackles and five sacks in the Colts' 3-4 defense last season, but it wasn't a particularly strong fit for his skill set. He was expected to eye a return back to the 4-3, but money talks and the Chargers had a huge need for a pass rusher after losing Melvin Ingram to a torn ACL. Freeney should see significant snaps opposite Jarret Johnson, and the Chargers have already stated that they could tinker their defense to better suit the veteran. Freeney will not lack scheme familiarity. He played in Chuck Pagano's defense in 2012, and Chuck's brother John is the Chargers' defensive coordinator.
