Tim Jennings was a starter at cornerback for the Bears last season opposite Charles Tillman, but the Bears brought in several cornerbacks this offseason, 2 in free agency in Kelvin Hayden and Jonathan Wilhite, and two through the draft in Isaiah Frey and Greg McCoy. Nonetheless, it sounds like Jennings will keep his starting job. According to the Chicago Tribune, “all signs” point to him doing so.

Jennings, one of the league’s most underrated cornerbacks, was resigned for 6.6 million over 2 years earlier this offseason. Jennings doesn’t have elite physical skills and is undersized at 5-8 185, but he’s a perfect fit for the Bears scheme. He was one of two starting cornerbacks to not surrender a touchdown last season and graded out as ProFootballFocus’ 17^th ranked cornerback. I see no reason why he should lose his starting job.
