Broncos Sign Pro Bowl CB Kyle Fuller to 1-Year Deal

Fuller signing with Denver reunites him with Vic Fangio, who was the Bears' defensive coordinator from 2015-18.

Hours after his official release from the Bears, cornerback Kyle Fuller has reportedly agreed to a one-year, $9.5 million with the Broncos, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The Broncos later confirmed the signing.

Fuller was released by Chicago with $14 million due on his contract. The Bears had tried and failed to execute a trade to send him to another team before opting to cut him, per The MMQB's Albert Breer.

The deal with the Broncos includes $9 million in fully-guaranteed money. The move reunites Fuller with former Bears defensive coordinator and current Broncos head coach Vic Fangio, who coached Fuller from 2015-18.
