Buster Skrine released

[Anytime23]

still a buster

 

[BaBaBlacksheep]

Good. Guy was garbage

nah. He really wasn’t. Just replaceable on a team against the cap

 

[PickSix]

Shelley should be able to take his spot

Dunno about that. I thought Shelley looked awful last year. Vildor showed some promise though.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Surprised at the hate. Skrine was decent. But we need cap room

 

[PickSix]

He had a terrible 2020. 78.1% completion rate against him and a 125.7 QB rating when targeting against him.

Good.

 

[dennehy]

Shelley didn't look good, Vildor is an outside CB. Lots of decent nickels in FA this year.

This brings me to a broader point about the defensive backfield: Kyle Fuller might be expendable. Doubt it happens when there is a general manager and head coach both fighting for their jobs, but Fuller probably fetches a second and the Bears could designate the trade post 6/1 for $11,000,000 in cap savings. I'm absolutely comfortable going into the season with Kindle Vildor and Jaylon Johnson as the starting cornerbacks.

 

[tcmtrinity]

Still think he could be a part-time male model.

 

[DaaBears]

I will wait till the press conference tomorrow to confirm if this is true.

Fuller can be extended to lower his cap. I wouldn’t part with him unless it’s in a deal to land Watson or Wilson.

Vildor is nothing special. I would not be happy with him starting.

 

[vinson555]

Massie will be gone very soon too I would reckon.

I am honestly starting to debate this. From what I understand of his contract we only get on million extra, or was it 5... if % mill then total worth, but 1... eh...

 

[Hawkeye OG]

Vildor is nothing special. I would not be happy with him starting.

Yeah, he's fine depth for now, but not someone you want out there for 16 games. We'll see how he progresses.

 

[vabearsfan15]

He had a decent first year here and was a good value find after losing Bryce Callahan. Unfortunately his play really dropped off last season.

Two 2nd year corners....one who seems to have chronic shoulder injuries and another undersized guy from a small school who barely played last year and physically looks better suited as a nickle......what could go wrong?

 

[Paddy12345]

Didn't he cause a lot of penalties? He was overly aggressive it seemed at times.

I feel like I remember him being offside on a few crucial plays

 

[The_Shadow]

If I remember correctly this was a guy Nagy just had to have. Whatever, he was average most of the time. Had a penchant for getting beat in the red zone I thought though. Obviously was on the outs when looked at his cap figure. Massie will be gone very soon too I would reckon.

Nah, he was a Pace guy! Pace missed out on him, when he took the Jets offer and Ryan scooped him up, when the Jets let him go. Another one of those, "Lets pick up this guy, he looked great 4 years ago when we last did homework on him!"
