Cornerback Desmond Trufant has agreed to join the Bears on a one-year deal, as Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets. Terms of the deal are not yet known. 
Trufant will try to fill the Bears’ post-Kyle Fuller void, though he’s unlikely to match his production. Fuller left Chicago with passes defended (82), good for top-five in franchise history. He also ranked in the top-20 for tackles (390) and interceptions (19).
After his best seasons with the Falcons, Trufant was rewarded with a five-year, ~$69MM mega-contract. In 2019, the Falcons dropped him, even though he managed four interceptions in just nine games. Then, the Lions released Trufant earlier this month to escape the rest of his two-year, $21MM deal. The Lions saved $6MM but were left saddled with ~$6.2MM in dead money.
Injuries were the culprit once again — Trufant played in just six games for the Lions, tallying one interception, four passes defended, and 20 total tackles. The Bears, who clearly need help in the secondary, could give him a chance to restore his value.
Lmao, people keep signing this dude to fill a void, and keep getting extremely disappointed
The bears want to go 0-16, so I suppose with that plan he will be a pleasant surprise, burnt weekly
His plan was brilliant, as are the plans of most FA’s that come to Detroit; pocket the millions, feign an injury, and profit. So easy.
Presumably he signs for less than Fuller would have made. How much for the one-year contract?
It better be half of Fuller’s or this makes zero sense. Still probably makes zero sense, but that is all the Bears have in the sense department.
The ritual of desecration of this once proud FOUNDING franchise continues.
I don’t care how much you love the Chicago Bears. If you continue to support this ownership and front office at this point, you’re a damned fool. It’s not about the players anymore, because trust me when I say this: THEY DON’T CARE.
