The Story in 60 Seconds

Bear Goggles On argues that Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles should avoid three specific trade moves before the upcoming deadline. Following the acquisition of defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons for two first-round draft picks, writer Brad Berreman recommends that Chicago refrain from trading for an offensive tackle, forcing a deal for an edge rusher, or giving up assets for cornerback Nahshon Wright.

Berreman suggests that teams could exploit Chicago's tackle injuries, while the defensive line already has sufficient depth and impact following the Simmons trade. Additionally, the writer argues that the Bears should not surrender draft capital for Wright when they could potentially sign him if he is released by the New York Jets.
