Kyle Fuller wasted no time getting a new club as he entered the free agency market. Not too long after his release from Chicago Bears became official on the league’s deal thread, the two-time Pro Bowl corner agreed to a one-year deal with the Denver Broncos, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Fuller will earn $ 9.5 million over the 2021 season and the deal includes $ 9 million guaranteed.
While the news broke that the Bears are releasing Fuller – which will enter the club in the last year of its four-year extension of $ 56 million and would start on Friday with a capital cost of $ 20 million, Chicago first looked for any potential industries for the 29-year-old. Therefore, the release only took place on Saturday. By cutting the Bears bait now with Fuller, they removed $ 11 million from their hood.
After Fuller was released, the Broncos were quick to land him in and land. This signing reunites Fuller with Vic coach Vic Fangio, who was the Bears’ defense coordinator during a significant portion of Fuller. The 2018 campaign was the best season in the corner’s career, and last year, Fangio was the DC in Chicago. More than 16 games played, Fuller led the league in distinctions (seven) and defended strokes (21) while being named First-Team All-Pro and receiving a Pro Bowl nod.
The former first-round pick is just the latest addition by Denver, which has since invested heavily in secondary investment. On top of bringing Fuller on board, new GM George Paton recently signed corner Ronald Darby for a $ 30 million deal and agreed to a monster deal with Justin Simmons for $ 61 million. By looking strictly at the guaranteed dollars, the Broncos invested $ 63 million in their secondary investment with just these three deals.
