Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports that the Bears have expressed interest in free agent CB Bashaud Breeland.
Biggs mentions that the Bears are up against the salary cap right now and have expressed optimism regarding the competition at cornerback. However, it appears as though they’re at least checking in on some potentially available options.
The Vikings brought in free agent Breeland for a visit last week and the Chiefs have reportedly discussed a potential deal with him.
Breeland, 29, is a former fourth-round pick of the Redskins back in 2014. He played out the final year of his four-year, $2.706 million contract and made a base salary of $690,000 for the 2017 season.
The following year, Breeland and the Panthers agreed to a three-year, $24 million deal that includes $11 million guaranteed and $9.5 million fully guaranteed. However, he later failed a physical due to a foot injury and it took until September for him to agree to a one-year contract with the Packers.
The Chiefs signed Breeland to a one-year contract and later brought him back on another one-year contract worth up to $4.5 million.
In 2020, Breeland appeared in 11 games for the Chiefs and recorded 38 tackles, two interceptions, one fumble recovery, one forced fumble, and nine pass deflections.
