![]() He probably isn’t the answer to replace Jordan Howard, but Davis plus Tarik Cohen and a draft pick may be enough if the Bears choose to trade Howard, something they were discussing at the combine per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. 1 entering the offseason - until we knew what the Bears would do at nickel corner and safety - and part of the plan is Davis, who had a career-best season for the Seahawks in 2018 - 112 carries for 514 yards (4.6-yard average) and 34 catches for 214 yards to go along with five total scores.Ī 5-foot-9, 217-pound back, Davis is coming to Chicago on a two-year, $6 million contract according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Experience isn’t a question mark, but penalties have been an issue - Skrine had 13 in 20 and 16 in 2014. Skrine turns 30 next month, and on a short-term contract, we can’t rule out the Bears looking to add another cornerback via the draft. 41, I think that he’s one of the better nickels in this league, if not the best,” Nagy said. Prior to the Bears-Jets game in October, Matt Nagy singled out Skrine when discussing the Jets’ defense. Skrine has 3.5 career sacks and three forced fumbles. In his four seasons in New York he had 30 passes defensed and three interceptions, but had 47 passes defensed from 2012-14. The 5-foot-9, 185-pounder out of Tennessee-Chattanooga wasn’t too productive making plays on the ball with the Jets, though. Skrine parlayed a career-high four interceptions in 2014 into a four-year, $25 million contract with the Jets. He began his career with the Browns as a fifth-round pick in 2011 and worked his way up being a starter by his third season. However, Skrine has had four concussions since 2015, including one last October. Skrine, on the other hand, didn’t miss a game in his first five NFL seasons and missed five total in the last three seasons. ![]() It’s possible the Bears, who know Callahan best and have valued his play for four seasons, simply wouldn’t pay that much for someone who has never played in more than 13 games in a season, despite the playmaking he has brought to the position. When the Lions reportedly agreed to pay nickel corner Justin Coleman $9 million per year, Callahan’s price tag had to go up. Averaging $5.5 million per year, Skrine’s addition likely spells the end of Callahan’s time as a Bear. Per NFL Network, Skrine and the Bears agreed to a three-year contract worth $16.5 million with $8.5 million guaranteed. Monday’s additions illustrate a cost-conscious Ryan Pace this offseason, but they also allow him to keep adding in the days and weeks to come. ![]() Re-signing Bryce Callahan was always possible, adding Le’Veon Bell seemed like a pipe dream, and those moves would have come with a little more fanfare. ![]()
