The Chicago Bears moved quickly to ensure restricted free agent Bryce Callahan remained on the roster by applying an original round tender on him. This means the Bears control his contract rights. Any team that tries to make an offer they are legally allowed to match in order to ensure he stays on the team. Only by not matching it could they potentially lose him.
There is still some risk though. Callahan is a former undrafted free agent. If he accepts a deal elsewhere and the Bears don't match, they lose him for nothing in return. It seems other teams are aware of this fact and are trying to contemplate a way to lure the young cornerback away from Chicago. Chief among them is a longtime nemesis to the north.
Few teams love to collect cornerbacks quite like the Vikings. Mike Zimmer values the position highly and it's clear they've had their eye on Callahan for some time. Not surprising. Despite health issues over the past couple years, he's quietly been one of the best nickel backs in the league.
