2011 was a solid season for the Bears cornerbacks, atleast for the most part.
The cornerbacks as a whole posted 12 interceptions. D.J. Moore led the way with four interceptions.
Charles Tillman had three, while forcing four fumbles. He has been one of the most consistent ball strippers in the NFL.
He now has 28 in nine years in the league.
The question right now for the Bears is about Tim Jennings. Do they value him enough as a starter across from Tillman?
D.J. Moore will be back and healthy as a nickelback and Zackary Bowman will likely be on his way out.
But do the Bears want to sign both Tim Jennings and Corey Graham, or just one of them.
It will be interesting to see how much they invest in the two players if they decide to bring them both back.
Either way the position should be upgraded or infiltrated with youth this off-season.
The draft will likely be the place where the Bears find a young cornerback prospect to bulk up the depth.
