Bears Expected To Release Kyle Fuller; Akiem Hicks' Future Also In Doubt

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Allen Robinson is expected to accept his franchise tag from the Bears - but he could still be traded or sign a long-term deal.

But Kyle Fuller is not getting a deal, at least from the Bears.

The salary cap-strapped Bears are expected to release their No. 1 cornerback to create $11 million in cap space without a true replacement on the roster.

There is still a chance the Bears could trade Fuller, but that seems unlikely.

Vic Fangio's Broncos are already rumored to be interested in Fuller.

Akiem Hicks' future with the team is in doubt too.

The Bears reportedly have given him permission to seek a trade. The 31-year-old Hicks is set to earn $10.5 million in the final year of his contract.

Also Thursday, following a disappointing four years with the Chicago Bears, it was announced that quarterback Mitchell Trubisky is heading to Buffalo after agreeing to terms on a one-year deal with the Bills.
