Cardinals Sign Bashaud Breeland To The Practice Squad
The Arizona Cardinals signed cornerback Bashaud Breeland to their practice squad on Tuesday. Breeland worked out for the Cardinals last week and was set to sign with them before testing positive for COVID-19. The 29-year-old was waived by the Minnesota Vikings the previous week after he got into an altercation with coaches and teammates. In other moves on Tuesday, the Cardinals activated linebacker Markus Golden, tackle D.J. Humphries, linebacker Devon Kennard and cornerback Breon Borders from the COVID list. In 13 games for the Vikings this year, Breeland had two interceptions and five passes defensed. He'll operate as cornerback depth heading into the playoffs for Arizona.
Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Bashaud Breeland (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and has no game status for Sunday. He will play in the AFC Championship against the Buffalo Bills. It's good news for a Chiefs secondary that will be trying to slow down All-Pro wide receiver Stefon Diggs and breakout quarterback Josh Allen as they try to secure back-to-back trips to the Super Bowl. The 29-year-old Breeland was hit with a four-game suspension during the regular season for violating the league's substance-abuse policy, but he still managed to record 38 combined tackles, two interceptions, nine passes defensed, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 11 games in 2020. KC's defense allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts this year, so they'll need Breeland in order to contain Buffalo's passing game.
Kansas City Chiefs starting right cornerback Bashaud Breeland is facing a four-game suspension for violating the league's policy of substances of abuse, according to a source. Breeland is expected to miss the first four games against the Texans, Chargers, Ravens and Patriots. It's not a surprise to anyone, as Breeland was expected to be suspended to begin the 2020 season. The 28-year-old will be eligible to return in Week 5 against the Las Vegas Raiders. In his first season with KC last year, Breeland had 48 combined tackles, two interceptions, eight passes defensed and two fumble recoveries, including one for a touchdown. You can leave him alone in IDP leagues.
Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Bashaud Breeland, who was arrested on multiple charges on Tuesday, including possession of marijuana, was already facing a four-game suspension in 2020 for another violation of the league's substance-abuse policy, according to sources. Breeland is appealing his four-game suspension, but it's looking likely that he'll have to sit out at least some time to begin the 2020 season. The 28-year-old was a fourth-round pick of the Redskins in 2014. The 2019 season was his first in Kansas City, where he recorded 48 tackles (37 solo), two interceptions, eight passes defensed and two fumble recoveries (one touchdown).
Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Bashaud Breeland was arrested in York, South Carolina, on Tuesday, according to online records. Breeland was arrested on charges of resisting arrest, transporting alcohol in a motor vehicle with the seal broken, open container of beer or wine, possession of 28 grams or less of marijuana or 10 grams of hash and driving without a license. He recently signed a one-year, $4.5 million deal to return to KC after one season with the team. Breeland had two interceptions in the regular season and one in the Super Bowl while starting 18 of 19 games. It's unknown if he'll be facing discipline by the league after this arrest.
The Kansas City Chiefs are signing free-agent cornerback Bashaud Breeland to a one-year, incentive-laden deal with a max value of $5.5 million on Monday, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The sixth-year defensive back was inconsistent in 2019 after he had his contract rescinded by the Panthers due to a failed physical. He appeared in only seven games for the Packers and missed time with hamstring and groin ailments. Breeland had 20 tackles, two interceptions and four passes defensed. He could be in line for a starting role with his new team.
The Green Bay Packers signed free-agent cornerback Bashaud Breeland on Tuesday. Breeland will replace Davon House (shoulder), who is going on Injured Reserve.

Cornerback Bashaud Breeland is visiting with the Miami Dolphins today. They are interested in signing the 25-year-old free agent. Breeland spent the first four seasons of his career with Washington, where he started opposite Josh Norman last season. The Dolphins' brass must not have been happy with what they saw from their secondary in Thursday's preseason game against the Buccaneers. If signed Breeland would likely start for the Dolphins opposite of Xavien Howard. Their depth chart right now lists 2017 UDFA Torry McTyer as their other starting cornerback right now, and Breeland would represent an upgrade to their defense.
Free-agent cornerback Bashaud Breeland has visits scheduled with the Indianapolis Colts and Cleveland Browns this week, per ESPN's Rob Demovsky. This is the second time the Colts have interacted with Breeland this offseason, but he will need to prove to teams that his health concerns are a thing of the past. A $24 million deal with the Carolina Panthers was voided in March after he injured his foot, but there is no denying that he is extremely capable when healthy.
Free agent cornerback Bashaud Breeland (foot) visited with the Indianapolis Colts on Wednesday, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. The former Washington Redskin agreed to a three-year, $24 million deal with the Carolina Panthers back in March, but did not end up signing due to a failed physical. With the issue supposedly healed, Breeland could be a steal for whichever team ends up signing him. Across his five years in the NFL, Breeland has appeared in 60 games (57 starts) and totaled 270 tackles, eight interceptions, seven forced fumbles, a sack, and 60 passes defensed.
