As Tuesday's NFL trade deadline approaches, there are several moves that Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles could make to improve the team this season.
He addressed nickel corner by signing C.J. Gardner-Johnson, but could still stand to add talent on the outside, with Jaylon Johnson expected to miss the majority of the season. Reports that Dayo Odeyingbo will miss the rest of the season due to an Achilles injury make the need at defensive end even more pressing.
Yet, the Bears might be best served if Poles does something for the first time in his career as a general manager: sit out of the trade deadline entirely.
