Chicago Bears, CB Desmond Trufant agree to one-year deal, source says

Cornerback Desmond Trufant is signing a one-year deal with the Chicago Bears, a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The move comes a day after a league source confirmed the Bears were releasing two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Kyle Fuller in a move that frees up $14 million worth of salary cap space.

Fuller joins a Bears depth chart that is led by second-year cornerback Jaylon Johnson, the starter on the side opposite of Fuller's old post.

The Detroit Lions released Trufant earlier this month after signing him to a two-year, $20 million contract last year to be the team's replacement for Darius Slay, who was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles.
