"And neither are ones revolving around DJ Moore. Frankly, I expect the Raiders star pass rusher and the Bears receiver to come up in trade conversations this offseason because we're only eight days removed from crowning a Super Bowl LX champion, and both players have already been tossed around the rumor mill quite a bit."
"Zimmerman writes that he expects "a major overhaul" on the defensive side of the trenches. Considering the lack of production in the pass-rush department and struggles stopping the run, bolstering the defensive line should be priority No. 1 for Chicago's front office. Moreover, Zimmerman adds his belief that the Bears will go about fixing the D-line in a way similar to how they rebuilt the offensive line last offseason."
Persistent trade chatter centers on Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby and Bears wide receiver DJ Moore heading into the offseason. The Bears face clear defensive-line deficiencies in pass rush and run defense, prompting plans for a substantial overhaul of the trenches. Strengthening the defensive line is identified as a top front-office priority, potentially pursued in a manner similar to the recent offensive-line rebuild. Edge defenders Maxx Crosby and Trey Hendrickson are among the names tied to Chicago’s plans. A successful D-line turnaround could elevate the Bears into legitimate Super Bowl contention for 2026.
