Bashaud Breeland may prove to be a better starting cornerback than Steve Nelson in 2019

Two notable moves happened in the Kansas City Chiefs cornerback room in the matter of one week’s time. The Pittsburgh Steelers signed away unrestricted free agent Steve Nelson to a three-year deal worth $25.5 million, and the Chiefs signed Bashaud Breeland to a one-year deal with a maximum value of $5 million.

Nelson’s Steelers cap hit will be $4 million in 2019, then bump up to $10.75 million in each of the next two seasons.

To flesh this out a little, Nelson's deal also includes base salaries of $1.
