The Chicago Bears have already shown they’re willing to be aggressive when it comes to getting better over the last few years, making some very interesting moves.
If the Bears want to show the NFL that they're willing to do whatever it takes to win, there are a few other players they could go after, and one of them is Myles Garrett of the Cleveland Browns . Gary Davenport of BR linked Chicago to a potential move that, while unlikely on the surface, actually makes sense for Garrett. “Given that the Chicago Bears were reportedly interested in dealing for Maxx Crosby before he was traded (and then un-traded) to the Baltimore Ravens , it makes sense that the team would kick the tires on a Garrett trade as well.
After all, there's a reason why the Bears were interested in Crosby—as Richard Louis of Da Windy City wrote, as good as the Bears were a year ago, the pass-rush was a weakness,” he wrote . The question, as always, will come down to cost. The Browns would likely be looking for at least two first-round picks, and that's probably putting it lightly.
Garrett is a bit older now, but his impact is still just as big as anybody in NFL history, so the Bears will have to figure out if they're willing to pay that price. To me, that's something I would do.
