The Chicago Bears are likely to hold on to defensive end Akiem Hicks after failing to find a trade partner for the 31-year-old, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune.
Biggs noted the Bears had been shopping the veteran and his $12 million cap hit in 2021 but didn't find any takers and won't be pursuing a trade further. Hicks is set to become a free agent after next season. He posted 49 total tackles, 3.5 sacks and one fumble recovery in 15 starts last year.
Carson Wentz was the latest domino to fall in the trade market as he was shipped to Indianapolis, where he will be reunited with Colts head coach Frank Reich.
