Allen was a favorite of Bears defensive coordinator Dennis Allen when he was in charge of the Saints’ defense, so it makes sense that Sewell would team up with him again. But it’s not just Allen. Sewell’s former teammate Dammarco Jackson is also in Chicago’s linebackers room, as is his younger brother Noah Sewell. It says a lot that the Bears signed Sewell just one day after his contract with the Saints expired.
