Skrine’s gone.

JJ’s outside.

Trufant and Burns aren’t slot guys.

So who’s your starting nickel for this year? You can’t roll into the season with Duke Shelley as your slot corner, man.

I know they’ve said nice things about Kindle Vildor, but come on.


Would you be surprised if they went CB in the first? It might make a lot of sense.

I actually think Vildor showed some improvement. I don’t think he’s as bad as many think.

A lot of holes on the roster. Can’t fix ‘em all in the draft and with the cap situation.

Vildor or Trufant if D.Jeremiah's mock is right and we draft Newsome at #20.

you answered your own question. You realize there’s this thing called the draft later this month, right?

Kindle Vildor looked like he was a pretty good player his rookie year. Definitely earned a shot in 2022.

I doubt Pace uses a high round pick on a slot/nickel corner. For an outside corner...sure.
So I will guess that our starting slot corner is currently on another team’s roster and will be picked up on a vet min contract when released post draft.

I would like to give Vidor and Shelley a chance to battle at slot. Maybe draft a guy in the 3rd to mid rounds to compete. Pace has found decent secondary guys and I trust him to eventually find cheap options to be serviceable at the position.

Plus, its time for us to devote our assets to the offense this offseason. If we are going to move off Fuller, rather than try to extend him, its because the staff wants to start pushing money & assets to the other side of the ball.

Shelley has looked really bad to me. He's just a depth guy. He cannot reliably start.

I think we're going CB in the 1st. But I also suspect our secondary will no longer be an asset, and we'll start getting carved up by good QBs. And of course, our offense won't be able to bail out our defense.

Get ready for 5 or 6 wins.

Are we talking nominations from CCS? Cause a few of the posters here are very dodgy, slippery and fast. Can cover their tracks rather quickly.

CB in the first makes a lot of sense now, after losing Fuller. What did they save like 2 mill with Truefaunt

No it’s a need now after letting fuller go. They saved like 2 mill by bring in trufant, which is bonkers! Typical Bears move

Duke S H E L L EY wasn't a name I heard much when he played which is not a bad thing. It's likely they draft a CB in the first 4 rounds, with a competion between them and artie burns, Desmond trufant etc etc

Those random clods of Turf that always appears on Soldier Field, played better than Skrine last year.

Wrong…

Fuller cut = $11 mil saved

Trufant = $1.075 mil spent
