Should the Chicago Bears make moves during the NFL Trade Deadline?
The 2023 NFL trade deadline is looming, set for October 31 at 3:00 p.m. Central time. The Chicago Bears have already been active, trading Chase Claypool and a seventh-round pick to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for a sixth-rounder. Given their single victory, further changes to the roster might be imminent.
Considering the Bears' slim chances for postseason play and the possibility of another off-season overhaul, our WCG team pondered the following:
Should the Bears be on the selling side during the trade deadline, and which players should they consider trading?
Here's the team's take:
Ken Mitchell: It's time to let go! Particularly the seasoned players Sud
Jaylon Johnson and Eddie Jackson (provided he's fit) come to mind as potential trade assets. Jackson's high salary doesn't fit our rebuilding strategy, while Johnson could be valuable if we don't plan to renew his contract after this season. Yannick Ngakoue might also be up for consideration, though I'm skeptical about other teams showing interest. After all, any team could have signed him as a free agent, yet only Chicago made the move.
Bill Zimmerman: The Bears shouldn't be acquiring; they should be trading away. The challenge is identifying valuable assets that could yield meaningful draft picks in return. Jaylon Johnson is a prime candidate, but the list ends shortly after. Darnell Mooney hasn't been producing enough to attract substantial offers. So, I'm not expecting a flurry of trade activities.
Sam Householder: Honestly, no one on the team is indispensable. Jaylon Johnson and Eddie Jackson stand out as tradable assets. We're staring at another major overhaul, and any additional draft capital would be beneficial. The incoming management should have the freedom to select players that fit their strategies, without being tied to the current roster.
