His coaches have had nothing but good things to say about the 10-year vet from the moment he set foot in the Windy City. He didn’t miss a game in 2019, but his luck turned in 2020, and now, the Bears will be looking to fill his shoes in the secondary.
Skrine’s Injury History Has Left Cause for ConcernĪfter suffering the sixth concussion of his career Week 12 last season, Skrine didn’t suit up again. Expect Shelley and Vildor to now compete to fill Skrine’s vacated role. Still, he was a solid compliment to All-Pro Kyle Fuller, and he was an excellent mentor to the likes of Jaylon Johnson, Kindle Vildor and Duke Shelley. He missed eight tackles on the year, which isn’t bad - he received a 70.8 tackling grade from PFF - but considering his primary responsibility is coverage, his 46.2 coverage and 52.3 overall grade leave much to be desired. Per PFF, Skrine allowed a 123.1 passer rating when targeted this past season.
BUSTER SKRINE HUDL PRO
He didn’t register an interception in Chicago, and while he was great against the run (he earned a 86.4 grade on run defense from Pro Football Focus this year), his coverage left much to be desired at times. He had 114 total tackles, three forced fumbles, two tackles for loss and two quarterback hits in his two years with the Bears. He played in 28 games for the Bears over the last two seasons, starting seven. The Bears signed Skrine to a three-year, $16.5 million contract in 2019, with $8.5 million guaranteed, per Spotrac. Skrine Has Been Solid Veteran Presence at Corner for Chicago įollow the Heavy on Bears Facebook page, where you can weigh in on all the latest Bears-related breaking news, rumors, content and more! Thought Duke Shelley was solid stepping in for the Bears at slot corner. Hopefully Skrine is doing OK after his season ended with a concussion. Would create ~$2.7 million in cap space per Over the Cap (nearly $5M if it’s a post-June 1 cut).
