Most Bears fans don’t understand the team’s decision to cut cornerback Kyle Fuller.
The man himself does — or at least could read the free-agent market as though it was a receiver on a slant route.
“I think I understood, I guess, everything that was going on,” he said Monday via Zoom. “I just took it for what it was.”
He knew the Bears were squeezed by a $182.5 million salary cap that was 8% smaller than the one in 2020. He knew about their long-term commitments to other defensive players. Seeing reduced prices for other veterans around the league, too, helped Fuller’s stoicism when examining the Bears’ decision.
