CHICAGO, IL — The Chicago Bears are reportedly finalizing a trade that would send a key piece of their roster to the NFC West. According to league sources, the Bears are in advanced talks to deal a three-year starting defensive lineman in exchange for draft capital and potential depth players.
The unnamed player, a cornerstone of the Bears’ front seven since 2021, is rumored to be heading to the Seattle Seahawks, though other NFC West teams such as the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams have also been in contact.
Trade Highlights:
Bears Receive: 2025 3rd-round pick, conditional 2026 pick, and rotational linebacker
NFC West Team Receives: 3-year starter on defense, plus a 2025 6th-round pick
Insiders suggest the move is part of GM Ryan Poles’ long-term strategy to reshape the defense with younger talent and more cap flexibility. The trade is expected to be finalized before the start of training camp.
