Kyle Fuller, CB, Bears

The Saints are thin at cornerback.

While they have several of them, when you get past Janoris Jenkins, the talent drops drastically. Whether it’s PJ Williams or Patrick Robinson or another of the corners on this Saints team, the talent in the slot may just not be there.

That’s where Kyle Fuller may come into play. The Bears are not set up for success. With a solid defense led by Khalil Mack and Fuller, if Chicago struggles, expect to see them actioning off a player like Fuller.

Last season, Fuller notched 82 tackles and three interceptions. In his fifth season in the league, Fuller was nominated for his second Pro Bowl, missing out on a spot on the All-Pro team, a roster he was in 2018.

Fuller would be a free agent after the 2021 season, so he wouldn’t be just a one-year rental. That means next season the team could return at least Fuller and star Marshon Lattimore to lead the secondary.

Pro Football Network dubbed Fuller a top-15 cornerback in the league. He’d be a terrific offseason pickup for Chicago.
