He would be the 2nd best CB on the team and he would instantly be a big upgrade at CB2.

If Vildor can beat our Breeland we may have a really good player on our hands. Vildor may beat out Trufant be default.

Any idea what Breeland's asking price is? I'm assuming they would just be looking for a 1 year deal?

To answer my own question...his last two contracts were 1 year contracts. 2019 was for $2 million and 2020 was for $3 million. So, I would assume something similar.

He apparently left the Vikings recently not liking the offer

I know I've said this before, but I see CB as the team's biggest need. Right now, you have Trufant (31 year old, injury prone, bad in 2020), Vildor (unproven 5th round), Shelley (unproven 6th round), Graham (unproven 6th round), Artie Burns (1st round bust, injured all of 2020), and Tre Roberson (UDFA injured all of 2020) all competing for 2 spots. The Bears are likely to find a decent CB out of this group, but finding 2 to be good out of this group (plus counting on Johnson to develop and stay healthy) is asking a ton.

I'd feel much better if those 6 are competing for 1 starting spot and not 2, especially when you consider 2-3 of them will be depth and will probably see the field as well.

Remember Pettine is giving inputs here ... pettine had breeland for one year so he is familiar .... also packers secondary was always good under pettine .... will be great to get him on one year deal and then let the competition decide who gets it

I wouldn’t be upset if we signed him.

1 year 2.5-3.5 would be a really nice move.

I would be fine with a 2 year deal, he has been good in back to back years.

2 years 8 million/4 guaranteed, really 1 year and we will see.

If money was an issue, Trufant can be dropped with no dead cap. Breeland is definitely an upgrade.

Bears don't need him. They have Kindle Vildor, remember?

Vildor should be in competition with Shelley at nickel and the Oregon rookie too.

Pace has no plan and wastes resources on redundancy.
