Trying to determine just how the 2021 Bears secondary will shake out without Kyle Fuller feels like a daunting task.
Fuller was equally parts dependable and successful in his role as Chicago’s top cornerback. Even when he wasn’t playing at an All-Pro level, like 2018, Fuller’s coverage skills and willingness to get his nose dirty with a tackle made him a tough cookie to crack for opposing quarterbacks. But without Fuller, who left Chicago for Denver after being released as a salary cap casualty, there are real questions about how things will look in the defensive backfield.
Maybe Jaylon Johnson’s emergence will quiet some of those concerns.
The New York Giants defense was surprisingly solid in 2020. With a few tweaks though, defensive coordinator Patrick Graham s unit is going to be even better in 2021.

The 10 worst contracts in the NFC East
10) Dak Prescott, Cowboys
Prescott is probably the most valuable player in the NFC East, seeing as he is the only quarterback definitively worth having as a starter. But he makes the list because the Cowboys put off his contract extension for years, ultimately giving Prescott’s side all the leverage in the world to work out an incredibly player-friendly deal.
On the surface, Prescott’s contract doesn’t seem
that bad. It’s four years, $160 million with $126 million in guarantees, including a $66 million signing bonus. He will reportedly receive $75 million the first year of the deal.
