Analysis: The Bears look to be more in position to add players more than deal away players and here's why.
There's every reason to believe the Halloween trade deadline this year will come and go without their participation.
The Bears are not in position to give away one of their first-round picks for a player someone else has decided not to pay. They might need both of those picks for specific things, like a quarterback, wide receiver, offensive lineman or even pass rusher. There are Bears with value to trade for draft picks, but in some cases they're better off with the player than getting picks.
It might be more likely they'd move to acquire someone else's player at needed positions, particularly pass rusher. Someone like Brian Burns or Chase Young have been reported on the trading block for much of the time since last March but in both cases if the price asked included a first-round pick, the answer would have to be thanks but no thanks.
They are still a team valuing draft picks more than free agency and trades for talent, as GM Ryan Poles stated when hired. So they're not likely to want to trade picks away for players unless it's giving them a younger player who would be better than anyone they could get at the position next draft.They have only a limited number of players carrying value around the league in the market.
Free agency or trades are lesser ways to acquire talent and usually less reliable. Players who produced as system fits in other cities might struggle in other places.If this team had achieved more success on the field at this point they could be more interested in the future and trading. However, winning just five games out of 24 doesn't say things in a rebuild are proceeding as planned.
His last performance was horrible, no doubt, but also incomplete. He left with almost half a game remaining and a passer rating on the day of 36.7. He easily could have turned that around in a 12-6 game when he left. This isn't the Roquan Smith situation. So if trading him was something they wanted to explore, it's much more likely to come after he has had a chance to finish out this season trying to prove himself.It's been reported by ESPN the Bears have not pursued trading Johnson and the cornerback himself said his agency is talking to the team about a deal. That shows the Bears don't consider him someone they'd like to part with, and they have plenty of money to pay him.
