2. Kendall Fuller

Fuller to the Chicago Bears? The younger brother of Kyle Fuller, Kendall Fuller has been a solid cornerback who has been able to move from the slot to the outside and all around the defense. However, Washington could save about $8M to move on from him.

It will at least be a discussion for the team, and if they let him go, it will be interesting to see what he will be looking at on the market. If he is let go, this is the type of player that the Chicago Bears will want to look at.

There are not many positions the team needs more than cornerback at this point. Fuller having the versatility to play both the slot and the outside makes him even more valuable to the Bears. They do not have a legitimate option in the slot, and could use Fuller outside with two corners on the field, then move him inside for nickel downs.

That would mean that they can pick their poison in how they address their depth. If they just sign an outside corner, they would need a slot and vice versa.
