It looks like the Chicago Bears are a team that is in rebuilding mode, as evidenced by the decision to release veteran cornerback Kyle Fuller.
Fuller would earn $ 20 million in 2021, making him a possible accident on the hood. Chicago will save $ 11 million by parting ways with Fuller, a two-time Pro Bowler and defensive back leader.
According to ESPN’s Dianna Russini, the Bears wanted to keep Fuller on the roster, but they asked him to take a ‘very significant salary’ in the process. Ultimately, Fuller would rather test the market for free agencies, where he is certainly in high demand.

Fuller signed a $ 56 million four-year extension with the Bears in 2018, and he earned that contract in 2018 with a best season in his career, where he had seven distinctions and earned All-Pro honors .
Unfortunately for Ryan Pace, general manager, his decisions in the past, especially regarding the salary cap, have returned to haunt him.
While many people have left behind who would fill the void left by Buster Skine, the most important case starting in 2021 against Jaylon Johnson is facing the second-year corner.
