Bears roster 2020: Upgrades, downgrades, or level moves for each defensive and special teams unit

We surveyed every unit on the Bears D/ST to decide if they project to be better or worse in 2020, or if we can expect more of the same.

Cornerbacks

Gained:

  • CB Jaylon Johnson (rookie)
  • CB Artie Burns
  • CB Kindle Vildor (rookie)
  • CB Xavier Crawford

Lost:

  • CB Prince Amukamara

Chicago returns two-two Pro Bowl cornerback Kyle Fuller to a secondary that will have two starting spots up for grabs. The Bears released veteran Prince Amukamara this offseason, and they’re looking to fill his spot with some unproven players. Whether it’s second-round rookie Jaylon Johnson, who could make an impact as a rookie, or veterans Kevin Toliver or Artie Burns, the Bears will have a starting cornerback that lacks the experience of an Amukamara. The hope is Johnson wins the job and proves to the six teams that took another cornerback instead of him why they were wrong.

The verdict: No change
