Kyle Fuller's time with the Chicago Bears may be coming to a close...at least that's what one beat writer believes.

In a recent Q&A the Chicago Tribune's Brad Biggs was asked if Fuller makes the roster and he had this to say, writing:

My hunch is that Fuller is not on the Bears’ roster when the season begins. He doesn’t hold any trade value right now because he didn’t play a single down last season. The Bears have been busy adding cornerbacks to the mix and I imagine it is a priority for them in a draft that is deep at the position. You could certainly make the case the team has more or less moved on from Fuller already. I don’t see him being in their plans for 2017. But the Bears have yet to see him out on the field and maybe he looks like a completely different player when the voluntary offseason program kicks off later this month. The team certainly has no rush to make a decision on Fuller.

It is true that Fuller holds little to no trade value at this point after missing all of last season, but the former first-round pick was far from terrible when healthy in 2015.

According to Pro Football Focus, in 574 snaps in pass coverage, Fuller allowed 39 catches on 69 targets for just 425 yards. He recorded two interceptions and opposing quarterbacks recorded just an 86.9 rating when throwing in his direction.

At times in 2015, particularly near the end of the year, opposing teams stayed away from Fuller's side of the field when attempting to move the football through the air.

Fuller's setbacks in 2016 are a concern, but he does still possess some upside. It will be difficult for him to push for a starting job after Chicago added Prince Amukamara, Marcus Cooper and B.W. Webb in free agency, but it seems unlikely the Bears would just let him go without seeing him back on the field in 2017.
