Deadline: Tues, 4:00 PM ET
Bears’ current cap space: $6.7M
Poles’ 3rd RDers: Velus Jones Jr. (2022), Zacch Pickens (2023), and Kiran Amegadjie (2024)
It’s no secret the Bears are hunting for Dline and CB, especially since Dayo Odeyingbo has torn his achilles [again]. For me, achilles is worse than an ACL/MCL, etc.
It can sometimes take two seasons to regain the same explosion. Dayo isn’t getting any younger, and it’s not as if he was Lawrence Taylor to start with. Hard to envision this ending any better than the Claypool fiasco.
There’s too many trade targets to name. So here’s some possible options.
Bears EDGE trade targets:
Trey Hendrickson (CIN)
Danielle Hunter (HOU)
Jermaine Johnson (NYJ)
Kayvon Thibodeaux (NYG)
Bradley Chubb (MIA)
Josh Sweat (ARZ)
No clue if J. Sweat even available, but he looked great on MNF
DTs:
[You really trust Jarrett or Billings? Dexter, like Shemar, can spell Booker/DomRob though I understand if Poles prioritizes DE]
Jeffery Simmons (Titans) Supposedly had a short list he OKed. Washington was one of those teams, but now that Jayden Daniels is out, I wonder if he’d pencil in Chicago…
Quinnen Williams (Jets)
Mazi Smith (Cowboys)
Dre’Mont Jones (Seahawks)[now a Raven]
CBs:
[CJ Gardner-Johnson did ok. Gordon eventually set to return. Maybe JJ later]
Riq Woolen (Seahawks)
Alontae Taylor (Saints)
Cam Taylor-Britt (Bengals)
Rasul Douglas (Dolphins)
HBs:[No longer such a high-priority]
Breece Hall (Jets)
Devon Achane (Dolphins)
Jerome Ford (Browns)
