NFC Notes: Bears, Giants, Redskins

Bears

  • Jeff Dickerson believes former first-round CB Kyle Fuller could be on his way out of Chicago this summer.
  • Fuller missed the entire 2016 season and the Bears have since bolstered their depth at cornerback with the signing of Prince Amukamara and Marcus Cooper.
  • Chicago declined Fullerโ€™s fifth-year option, which is another sign that they donโ€™t view him as a long-term option.

Giants

  • James Kratch of NJ.com admits that cornerback depth is a concern for the Giants as they prepare for the start of training camp.
  • According to Kratch, thereโ€™s โ€œalmost no chanceโ€ of the Giants signing veteran CB Darrelle Revis, as itโ€™s hard to see how they could or even would sign him to a contract.
  • Revis is owed $6 million by the Jets, but there offsets with this figure, which means heโ€™ll make that money whether heโ€™s playing for a team or not.
  • As for free agent CB Alterraun Verner, Kratch believes heโ€™s a โ€œmore realistic optionโ€ for the Giants, as heโ€™s played in the slot before and could be a cheap option for New York.
  • Even so, Kratch wouldnโ€™t be surprised to see the Giants stand pat and see what they have with their current options at cornerback.

Redskins

  • Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk writes that anything mentioned about the Redskins and franchise QB Kirk Cousins is just โ€œnoiseโ€ for right now.
  • Florio says that the โ€œsafer guessโ€ is that a deal wonโ€™t get done in the end, given that the Redskins havenโ€™t shown a willingness get an agreement in place over the past two years.
  • It wouldnโ€™t be a surprise to see Washington leak their lasted rejected offer by Cousins if they canโ€™t get a deal in place by the July 17 deadline, writes Florio.
