What to do with Kyle Fuller? Franchise tag, long term deal, or let him walk?

The Chicago Bears haven’t had a homegrown pro bower on defense since 2012 when both Henry Melton and Charles Tillman made the team. This year’s Pro Bowl will be sans homegrown Bears’ as well, but there is a guy that could be knocking on that door next season if he keeps up his career trajectory.

Kyle Fuller just finished his fourth, and his best, season as a pro, and he’s still a month shy of his twenty-sixth birthday. Players often get their recognition a year after they have a big year, and Fuller’s 24 passes defended, which was second highest in the NFC, will garner him some recognition heading into the 2018 season.
