Thread: "Can the Chicago Bears Still Upgrade via NFL Trades?"

Heh, you do that by finishing w/a top 10 pick ;p.

Yeah, but with all the changes, that date has become pretty meaningless. Not too much happens then any more.

Well, we would package him with assurances from Tice that he will be fine.

Besides, I don't see the Broncos moving Clady for Forte or Hester.

In that hypothetical case, I would say cap space be damned, skimp on other guys and give Clady what you need to in order to lock down LT for the next decade. However, no way the Broncos would even consider that trade, so it's a moot point.

It is a pipe dream. Great LTs are hard to find and you don't just deal them for position players.
