As the trade deadline fast approaches, the Chicago Bears sit in the middle ground as a potential buyer and a potential seller. It's fair to assume a proverbial "all-in" move isn't coming, but there's a case for making a focused addition or two with a push for a playoff spot absolutely in play this year.
The Bears have issues to address on the defensive side of the ball, injury-driven of otherwise, but the move that has been made to supposedly help doesn't make a lot of overall sense. C.J. Gardner-Johnson has history with defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, but he's become a safety by primary trade when the Bears have more obvious needs at edge rusher and cornerback.
