After the disappointment of the Bears’ 2020 season, many lamented what was perceived by some to be an unfortunate unforced error in spring roster cuts. I’m talking, of course, about the release of Kyle Fuller — who Chicago could not hang onto due to unfortunate salary cap circumstances.
Fuller’s release allowed Jaylon Johnson to transition to become the Bears’ No. 1 corner. At the same time, it also left a sizable hole on the other boundary. A hole that many opposing offenses exploited repeatedly in 2021. With the Bears and GM Ryan Poles on the short end of the stick regarding many needs, especially on offense (receiver, guard, tackle, to name a few), they could do worse than facilitating a reunion.
