According to a report by Jordan Schultz, teams (yes, plural) have called the Chicago Bears to check if defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr. was available. Any team trading for the 24-year-old Dexter would be getting a player entering the final year of his contract and coming off a career-high six sacks. Dexter was originally a second-round draft pick in 2023, for head coach Matt Eberflus and his defensive scheme.
New defensive coordinator Dennis Allen may have different ideas for how he likes to deploy
his defensive tackles, so if Dexter isn’t in their long-term plans, it makes sense to listen to what teams may be offering.
Schultz is also reporting that the Bears have received calls about backup quarterback Tyson Bagent and wide receiver DJ Moore.
The Bagent news initially popped up last week with a report that the Arizona Cardinals were “intrigued” by him, and earlier today, PHNX (Arizona’s version of CHGO) reported that the Cardinals’ offer would probably be a fourth or a fifth rounder that could become a second, depending on playing time.
There has been smoke around a Moore trade all offseason, and yesterday, Bears’ GM Ryan Poles was noncommittal about Moore’s place on the roster in 2026.
Also, in a report that could interest Bears fans, Tom Pelissero thinks there is a good chance the Las Vegas Raiders trade defensive end Maxx Crosby by next week.
