With the Chicago Bears looking for help ahead of the trade deadline, the team were reportedly active in talks for two stars that came from the Indianapolis Colts. As rumors surround the Bears regarding the trade deadline, here's who the team went after and what could be next for the franchise.
According to NFL insider Jeremy Fowler, Chicago “showed varying levels of interest” in offensive lineman Quenton Nelson, who the Colts ultimately traded to the Seattle Seahawks.
Indianapolis wasn't done selling as they dealt defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to the San Francisco 49ers, who the Bears also had interest in, per league insider Jordan Scultz. He added that Chicago has been looking for defensive line help and has been “linked” to Khalil Mack.
“The Packers, Bears, and Eagles were among teams that showed varying levels of interest in Quenton Nelson, per source. His market was strong,” Fowler wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
