Bears trade deadline gambit: Jeremiah Smith shapes a Ryan Poles swing

Bear Goggles On argues that Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles should target a trade with the winless Los Angeles Chargers ahead of the November 10 deadline. Writer Ryan Heckman suggests that Los Angeles could look to sell talent to secure the No. 1 overall draft pick for Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, creating an opportunity for Chicago to acquire pass-rushing help.

The article highlights edge rusher Tuli Tuipulotu and former Bear Khalil Mack as viable targets. Heckman notes that acquiring Tuipulotu would involve dealing premium draft capital and securing a contract extension, while Mack represents an easier, low-cost acquisition following reports that Chicago has already called about his availability.
