After the draft, Mayock said, “We feel like we got a bunch of talented kids that we don’t know enough about yet. We’ve got four or five young corners who we’re kind of intrigued by.”
They will be glad to have the experience of the Super Bowl XLVI winner in Amukamara and will start the season with him as the draft picks phase their way into life at the elite level.
Amukamara was released by the Bears largely due to cap space reasons. This is because he was entering the final year of a $27 million 3 season extension he signed in 2018. The NFL 2011 draft’s, 19th overall pick has recorded 477 tackles in 9 full seasons with 3 different franchises. In addition to this, the cornerback has 6 forced fumbles, 2 fumble recoveries, 80 pass deflections, and one defensive touchdown.
