The Chicago Bears have already made plenty of moves to transform the roster ahead of the 2024 season.
The Bears 7-10 mark was their best record since 2020.
The trade for Keenan Allen along with drafting Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze are going to drive expectations for 2024 even higher.
After watching the Houston Texans emerge as a legitimate threat in the AFC, fans and management will have their sights set on making the postseason and making noise.
The Bears still have some time to bolster the roster and enhance their chances of putting together that kind of season.
Even with all of the moves they’ve made there’s a weakness or two that could be addressed as they attempt to climb the NFC ladder.
Here are three trade ideas that could make sense for the Bears moving forward.
As the saying (kind of) goes, with great roster additions comes great responsibility.
Matt Eberflus’s squad won four more games in his second season, going from 3-14 to 7-10, but taking the next step could be critical to his job security.
He deserves recognition for the improvement in record last season, but he’s still 10-24 in his first two seasons.
That means doing everything they can to continue building up the roster and getting it ready to compete as soon as possible.
For Eberflus, that could mean finally getting the kind of impact defensive tackle he likes to have.
The former defensive coordinator has noted the importance of having a 3-technique who is a difference-maker in the past.
Jonathan Allen is certainly qualified to play that role.
According to Sports Info Solutions, he has posted 80 total pressures over the last two seasons to go with 13 sacks.
