Possible Trade Partner Slowly Emerging As Prime Candidate For Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears have many options this offseason, a situation every team hopes for in shaping their franchise. They opted to part ways with Offensive Coordinator Luke Getsy while retaining Head Coach Matt Eberflus. Although not a popular choice among Chicago fans, Eberflus has garnered support from the players who believe in his leadership. On the other hand, the Las Vegas Raiders are still in the process of selecting their Head Coach. Interim Head Coach Antonio Pierce has left a positive impact on the team, especially in the locker room.

However, star edge rusher Maxx Crosby has issued an ultimatum for the Raiders front office: either hire Pierce as the permanent head coach or risk him requesting a trade.

Chicago needs to jump on this now

The Las Vegas Raiders, holding the 13th overall pick in the NFL Draft, might surprise everyone by considering a trade-up for a quarterback. While the Bears would significantly drop from the 1st to the 13th pick, the prospect of securing a top 3 edge rusher in his prime could make the move worthwhile. In return, they could acquire at least two additional first-round picks and some day 2 or 3 picks. Pairing Maxx Crosby (14.5 sacks in 2023) with Montez Sweat could solidify the Bears defense as a top 3 unit in the NFL next year. With potential trade partners emerging, it’s now up to Ryan Poles to thoroughly assess options and make an the tough decision on whether to trade the number 1 overall pick again.
