In this piece, let’s take a look at the top 5 Kristian Fulton landing spots as the cornerback enters the final year of his current contract. Originally selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, the former LSU product has been frequently brought up in cut and trade rumors this offseason. According to Bleacher Report, Fulton could be released come Week 1. Moe Moton shared why, explaining that the Chiefs are embracing a new secondary, while injuries during his first stint with them are a concern: “In his first year with the Chiefs, Fulton started only two of eight games in an injury-marred season. Returning to Kansas City, Sneed knows defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s system well after four successful seasons in it. He should be the front-runner for the opening on the boundary, though Williams also offers some upside,” Moton said. The Chiefs also reunited with CB L’Jarius Sneed and signed Kaiir Elam to address depth concerns. However, they also drafted Mansoor Delane in the first round of this year’s NFL Draft. Moton continued, stating that Fulton is No. 3 ‘at best’ and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him released to save $5 million on the salary cap.
