Super Bowl? Seriously though, reports were he was poised to win the starting spot opposite Fuller last year before the ACL injury.

Good depth at the very least. Between he and Trufant, I don’t know who is the better CB. Don’t know much about either one.

Odds are I think they are going with Vildor and maybe Shelly to start with Johnson next season. They might of saw something they liked in the two at then end of the season with Johnson was out. I mean more rookie contracts you have doing the job, the better if they work out. Be surprised if the draft someone high now.

I've been asking about him after he missed last year due to injury. Seemed like an interesting prospect at the time.

Seems they at least have a crop of plan B or C options, should the draft & FA not go according to plan. Not totally devoid of playable bodies.

Jewels to get a case of Squirt
Bears Wire article from today. Have no idea if true. Should have cited in the original post.
He torn his acl on the second day of contact practice last year, there wasn't any time for him to look like a starter. Maybe he opened camp with the starters but I'm guessing that report is mostly BS.

I wouldn’t count on him. He was a huge bust in Pittsburg. Bears were just hoping a change of scenery worked for him last year.

I liked Burns coming out of college. If memory serves he had a promising rookie year, a solid 2nd year and then regressed quickly.

This is basically just a shot at a high upside low risk CB.

So what are the terms of the Trufant and Burns deals.?
Neither are showing up on Spotrac or OverTheCap.

Burns will definitely be bet minimum and Biggs mentioned another executive thought Trufant would be vet minimum too. Either way both will be low
