The Chicago Bears finally have a roster capable of contending for the NFC North division following their full-scale rebuild that began in 2022, but that does not mean they should sit on their hands at the NFL trade deadline — especially if the latest “fairytale” trade suggestion from Pro Football Focus is remotely possible. PFF’s Bradley Locker recently pitched several admittedly unlikely trade possibilities for teams before the November 5 league deadline for deals and identified one target for the Bears who could elevate their defensive line: New Orleans Saints star Carl Granderson.
