I would be shocked if Fuller sees the field as a Bear this year.
Yeah something weird was going on with him last year. It shouldn't take over 4 months to come back from a knee scope. Fangio publicly called him out, which can't be a good sign either. I would guess Pace is trying to get something for him, but he probably won't cut him until after the draft.

I recall Fangio speaking out on Fuller a number of times. I just think Fuller is done here. I personally like the kid and thought he showed a lot of promise his rookie year.

I also echo the motion he should get some reps at safety. I really think he could shine there.

He absolutely should have been playing at free safety last year but he's definitely gone. The Fox/Pace doghouse has an event horizon!

I really hope Donnatell and Fangio have their hands all over these DB moves.

Cooper signed in part because he wanted to work with Donatell.

Is it sad that I really like this signing more for being able to use "Hangin' With Mr. Cooper" more than the potential the guy has at being a great CB in this system?

I just saw that from another direction. Nicely done! I like him already.
Mikefive's theory: The only time you KNOW that a sports team player, coach or management member is being 100% honest is when they're NOT reciting "the company line".

Only if the money is right....Which it sadly does not seem to be
