The Chicago Bears have already shaken up the
NFL offseason with a surprising move, but league insiders believe the franchise may only be getting started. After trading veteran wide receiver DJ Moore to the Buffalo Bills, attention quickly turned toward what general manager Ryan Poles might do next. With free agency approaching and several roster gaps emerging, Chicago Bears' front office appears ready to stay aggressive.
The timing of the trade adds even more intrigue. The Chicago Bears entered the offseason dealing with an unexpected setback when center Drew Dalman announced his retirement, creating another hole along the offensive line. Now, after moving a key offensive weapon in Moore, speculation is building that Chicago Bears could pursue additional trades to reshape its roster before the market officially opens.
Insider hints Bears could still make more moves
The buzz intensified when NFL insider Jordan Schultz shared a cryptic update on social media shortly after the DJ moreMoore trade was finalized. His comment suggested that the Chicago Bears’ activity may not stop anytime soon.
"I do not get the sense the Bears are done on the trade market....," Schultz wrote.
That brief message immediately fueled speculation across the league. Chicago still has several decisions to make regarding veteran players, and the team has the flexibility to create more salary cap space if it chooses to move additional pieces.
One name that continues to surface in rumors is linebacker Tremaine Edmunds. The Chicago Bears could have more money to spend on other improvements if they traded Edmunds, which would free up about $15 million in cap space. Tyson Bagent, the backup quarterback, has also been mentioned as a possible trade target, but there have been no real talks about it yet.
At the same time, the Chicago Bears has reportedly explored the possibility of making a bold move for Las Vegas Raiders star pass rusher Maxx Crosby. While no deal appears close at the moment, the interest signals the Bears are at least evaluating ways to strengthen their defensive front.
For a team that is clearly trying to accelerate its rebuild, the next few weeks could be crucial. The Bears have draft capital, cap flexibility and a roster that still needs reshaping.
If Schultz’s hint proves accurate, Thursday’s trade might end up being just the first step in a much bigger offseason plan for the Chicago Bears.
