Bears urged to trade for Steelers' shutdown CB amid major defensive issue
This Steelers cornerback would be a major help for the Bears' shaky defense.
The Chicago Bears showcased an impressive offense in Week 1, scoring 59 points and appearing to be the best team in the NFL. However, their defense struggled, allowing 37 points. ESPN's Ben Solak believes the Bears should consider trading for Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr. to address their defensive issues. Solak suggests that the Bears have the cap space and motivation to sign Porter, which could be a significant upgrade at a position of need.
While the Steelers may not want to trade Porter for minimal draft pick value, Solak thinks the Bears are the right team to pursue him. Traded for Porter, the Bears would need to sign him to a long-term deal, ensuring they leverage their roster while the offense is at its best.
