I agree, IF a team sees him as a #2 CB. His range, in that case, should be between 6 and 9 per. If they see him for what he is, which is a #3 nickel CB, then that value tends to lie between 2 and 3.5 which has two notable outliers, Nickell Robey-Coleman and Buster Skrine, who both come in around 5.5 per. OTC values him at just over 2 with an injury adjustment for up to 4, so I'd say I'm not the only one putting this type of value on him.
If I'm playing the law of averages, I'd venture to say it is far more likely you can sign him for 3 than not. If someone comes in and gives 6+, let him go. There are plenty of other options out there for 2-3 that can give you the same skill set. The Steven Nelson case is important and I don't forget it. You have an okay CB that's a very borderline #2, should be a 3, that gets 8.5 per from a franchise desperate for a CB. I'm not one that would pay that much for that particular level of play.
I'm hopeful the Chiefs can get him on a cheap 1-year deal. Give him a chance to see if he can up his play. He wasn't all that bad in 2018. That said, I'm paying Breeland before I'm paying Fuller.
And, not all could be bad with that. If Fuller gets a nice deal, then the Chiefs could very well be in line for a comp pick. Hell, they could be in line for a few comp picks depending on how they choose to handle free agency.
