Free agent CB Vernon Hargreaves visited the Bears on Thursday.
Hargreaves started 2021 with the Texans before being cut in November and joining the Bengals for the remainder of the season. Per PFF, Hargreaves allowed 20 receptions for 224 yards on 30 targets while receiving a coverage grade of 51.9. A former first-round pick by the Buccaneers in 2016, Hargreaves can provide positional depth but doesn't offer much else.
Texans re-signed CB Vernon Hargreaves to a one-year deal.
Hargreaves started all 16 games for Houston in 2020 after falling out of favor with the Bucs, who took him in the first round of the 2016 draft. He recorded one interception in 2020. Pro Football Focus graded Hargreaves as the league's 80th best cover corner last season.
Texans re-signed CB Vernon Hargreaves to a one-year contract.
Hargreaves' mid-season change of scenery didn't help matters as he joined the Texans in Week 12 and was promptly gassed for 34/356/3 across eight appearances to close the year. At least Bill O'Brien opted to bring the 24-year-old back for cheap relative to his avoided $9.6 million fifth-year option.
Hargreaves was released by the Texans on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Hargreaves entered the NFL in 2016 as a No. 11 overall pick with Tampa Bay. He was never consistent in coverage and also struggled with injuries, eventually getting waived this past November. The Texans put in a waiver claim and then gave Hargreaves regular run in their injury-riddled secondary, but he didn't show nearly enough to justify the $9.9 million price tag on his fifth-year contract option for 2020. Given that he's a first-round pick and still only 24 years old, Hargreaves should draw some interest on the open market, even if it's for backup work rather than a starting role.
