This about sums it up for my thoughts on Breeland…
A couple of things on Breeland. He was a physical corner & one of the better options on the market for KC’s style at the time in 19. But leading the defense in penalties with 25 called against him in 2 seasons not ideal. Athletic cliff is near as well. Hence 4x 1-year deals.
I just re-watched the AFC championship game against the Bills. Breeland had an interception in the end zone, and he also directly caused a tip that Rashad Fenton intercepted. [Reply]
Why it's a surprise: Minnesota signed Breeland to shore up the secondary and put a player with experience and good coverage skills (ranked 18th by Pro Football Focus in 2020) opposite Patrick Peterson at outside corner. Through four games, Breeland's play has been a disaster. He has been targeted 23 times and allowed 20 receptions for 281 yards (14.1 yards per reception), has given up four touchdowns and is allowing a near-perfect passer rating (157.2). Against Cleveland, Breeland left the game after six plays with an "illness" and didn't play again after being the closest defender on a 21-yard pass that converted a third-and-long for the Browns.

I thought this, I'd tried to watch some of his play and the limited amount I saw suggests binning him was right. Obviously some adjustment might be needed but he has looked dog-turd. I think our CBs have been really poor, but I'd still prefer Hughes over Breeland at this point. [Reply]
