Chicago Bears Named a Potential Trade Partner for Dolphins LB Jaelan Phillips
The Chicago Bears are even worse than last year, which could mean that major list additions are looming in the near future.
More specifically, Chicago can look for a ball carrier who can do more between the plated that of Andre Swift has shown through two games, but the Pass-Rush is also a concern, especially with the secondary secondary.
The half of the corner Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon are both for the Sunday match against the Dallas Cowboys, while the defensive rear Jaylon Jones will also oppose the competition, according to the official report of the team’s injuries.
Bill Barnwell of ESPN explained last week the cyclic problems that all the secondary injuries of the Bears are aggravated, which is aggravated by the absence of a pass-Rush.

“It’s a vicious circle,” wrote Barnwell on September 18. “Because secondary is in ruins, [Bears defensive coordinator Dennis] Allen cannot play a lot of coverage of man, which was a goal for this defense before the season. And without any confidence in the corner half, the Bears cannot send additional rushers – Chicago performing the lowest level of Blitz of the NFL.
“And because they cannot blitz, the Bears do not undergo any pressure, with their 20.8% pressure rate for the 28th in the league. And if you do not get pressure, life will be much more difficult on your defensive backs.”
Based on Barnwell’s analysis, the Bears have two choices – they can wait for the corner room to heal from multiple tenacious injuries of soft tissue and potentially may be delayed in a closely disputed qualifying series, or they can find a way to play the pressure better and facilitate the life of the quite healthy defensive backs still to play.
Chicago has 0-2. The teams that lose their first three games of the season have historically have a minimum of chances of making the playoffs. Miami dolphins fell to 0-3 after losing against the Buffalo Bills on “Thursday Night Football”, and they could be sellers from the week or the next two.
A Miami player could seek to move, which the Bears could target in potential trade, according to Dan Graziano d’Espn, is the editor Jaelan Phillips.
“Another choice of first round in 2021 playing its fifth year option without agreement beyond 2025, Phillips could be a very interesting target for Pass teams if the dolphins fall out of driving and decide that they will not keep it long term,” wrote Graziano on Friday.
“He has struggled to remain healthy, but he is in good health at the moment, and part of his salary of $ 13.251 million would not be too expensive in a league in which everyone is still looking for rushers on board. Phillips had 15.5 bags in his first two seasons in the NFL before the injuries limit it to 12 games in the next two years.”
While Chicago cannot put Phillips at the door for this weekend match against Dallas Cowboys, Phillips could prove a significant addition for a consecutive stay on the road against the Raiders of Las Vegas and the Washington commanders in weeks 4 and 5 if the Bears can divert him from Miami.
The Bears are currently tied for the fourth more NFL bags (three), and no player has more than three pressures or two obstacles, according to Pro Football Focus.
