Chicago Bears: Veterans in danger following 2018 NFL Draft

Cornerback Cre’von LeBlanc

Cre’von LeBlanc is a great story. He made it onto the team after being cut as an undrafted free agent by the New England Patriots back in 2016. Over his two years with the team, he’s had some good moments. But, with the flurry of re-signings this offseason at the position, I’m wondering if he ends up on the team.

Locks to make the roster, at this point, include Kyle Fuller, Prince Amukamara and Bryce Callahan. I would throw in Sherrick McManis and Marcus Cooper as well, simply because the Bears invested new contracts into both of them this offseason.

One of the biggest reasons I wonder if LeBlanc sticks around is due to a couple of 2018 UDFA corners the Bears scooped up. Kevin Toliver out of LSU was looked at as a potential mid-round to late-round selection but fell off the draft board completely.

In addition, I see some potential in both Nick Orr out of TCU and Michael Joseph out of Dubuque. LeBlanc would likely be more of a special teams guy anyway, and if the Bears see some potential in any of these undrafted free agents, he could be an odd man out.
