When the Chicago Bears signed Buster Skrine to a three-year deal it was clear that Bryce Callahan had hit a peak in his value and was going to cash in big time. Rather than paying up for the former UDFA, the team elected to sign Buster Skrine.
Skrine is going to be looked at as a downgrade from Callahan, but it will be much closer when you add up the dollars and cents of their value.
Skrine signed for $16.5 million which includes $8.5 million guaranteed and a $4.25 million signing bonus.
