NFL trade deadline: Could the Chicago Bears make another move before today’s 3 p.m. cut-off?

Do the Chicago Bears have one more trade left in them?

The NFL trade deadline is 3 p.m. Tuesday. The Bears already took their big swing when they traded for All-Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons on Oct. 29, parting with their 2027 and 2028 first-round draft picks to land the former Tennessee Titans star.

It was a dramatic move by general manager Ryan Poles that was all about capitalizing on the Bears’ window while quarterback Caleb Williams remains on his cost-controlled rookie contract.

Given that Poles traded his next two first-round picks, the Bears probably don’t have another earth-shattering move up their sleeve. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re done making moves.

“Ryan’s doing a phenomenal job,” coach Ben Johnson said. “Every day he’s going through and seeing how we can improve this roster, what we need the most of. The coordinators are certainly talking every day right now, where their concerns lie within the roster. And so we’ll see.”

Here’s what to know before the deadline.

Do the Bears have enough draft picks remaining to make a move?

Here’s a look at their picks over the next two years after trading for Simmons.

2027 (5 picks)

2028 (7 picks)

When addressing the media after the Simmons trade, Poles made it clear they aren’t taking the Los Angeles Rams approach that has been famously dubbed “F them picks.” The Rams traded seven consecutive first-round picks between 2017 and 2023.

“That’s really not what we’re about,” Poles said. “I know it took a lot to get this done, but we absolutely believe that the draft and bringing in young talent is the way that you sustain success around here. … I’m challenging myself and our crew that, for the picks that we do have, we have to hit.”

What does that mean for Tuesday? If the Bears do make a move, it probably would be something minor, perhaps similar in scope to last year’s late-round pick swap for defensive end Joe Tryon-Shoyinka.

They might be willing to part with a Day 3 pick, but their second- and third-round picks just became pretty valuable if they’re going to continue building through the draft.

Then again, the trade deadline usually has one or two big surprises.

What are the Bears’ biggest positions of need?

Cornerback stands out. Tyrique Stevenson Sr. (thumb) and Malik Muhammad II (toe) have been dealing with injuries. Kyler Gordon (undisclosed) briefly left Sunday’s win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, although he did return. NFL teams never can have enough bodies in the secondary.

The Philadelphia Eagles’ Riq Woolen is an intriguing candidate at the position, as is the New York Jets’ Nahshon Wright, who played for the Bears last season.

Defensive end could be another spot. The Bears might have some reinforcements soon as Dayo Odeyingbo (quadriceps) is eligible to return from injured reserve Nov. 22 against the New Orleans Saints. The Bears have been linked endlessly to Los Angeles Chargers edge rusher and former Bear Khalil Mack, but ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported over the weekend that the winless Chargers are not interested in trading Mack.

Offensively, the Bears reportedly were linked to guard Quenton Nelson, whom the Indianapolis Colts wound up dealing to the Seattle Seahawks. But that was before the Simmons trade. Still, the Bears always are looking to improve their offensive line if the right player is available.

Tight end could be an area of need after Cole Kmet’s season-ending knee injury. The Bears have Colston Loveland, Sam Roush and Stephen Carlson right now. The Eagles’ Dallas Goedert is in the final year of his contract and could be a name to watch at the deadline.

With Kyle Monangai gearing up to return from a toe injury, the offense should have both Monangai and D’Andre Swift available after the bye, so running back doesn’t feel like a huge need. But that’s another position where teams can’t have too many bodies.

Could the Bears look to trade anyone?

When Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson went down with an injury in Week 8, it wasn’t hard for fans to connect the dots between Ravens offensive coordinator Declan Doyle and Bears backup QB Tyson Bagent. Doyle held the same job with the Bears last season.

The Bears, though, were unwilling to part with Bagent over the offseason when teams called to gauge interest. He remains under contract through 2027, and the Bears already were reminded this season by Williams’ hamstring injury how valuable it is to have quality second and third options at the QB position.

The Ravens wound up trading for the Arizona Cardinals’ Jacoby Brissett last week. If other QB-needy teams — and not many contenders are — are looking to strike a deal before the deadline, the Colts’ Daniel Jones and the Las Vegas Raiders’ Kirk Cousins are more experienced and proven options. A Bagent deal feels unlikely now.

The Bears don’t have many players on expiring contracts who aren’t contributing right now. Given where they are in the standings, the Bears remain likelier to buy than sell.
