As the NFL trade deadline approaches, the Chicago Bears are reportedly evaluating options for bolstering their roster. ESPN's Seth Walder suggests the Bears target Miami Dolphins edge rusher Josh Uche, who is on a budget-friendly $1.4 million contract. Uche, who has recorded 2.0 sacks and a career-high 29 tackles this season, has previously played for the New England Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles, and Kansas City Chiefs. The Bears, having already acquired Jeffrey Simmons from the Titans, may seek to add Uche as a cost-effective option for their defensive line. The Bears could potentially acquire Uche for a late-round draft pick, aligning with their strategy to manage expenses after the Simmons trade.
