Bears target Yaya Diaby as trade option from Buccaneers

The Chicago Bears are pursuing a trade for pass-rusher Yaya Diaby of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With the NFL trade deadline approaching, the Bears seek to strengthen their pass rush, having shown interest in other options such as Khalil Mack. Diaby, who has three tackles for loss this season, is an inexpensive option due to being on the final year of his rookie deal. The Bears currently have about $9.2 million in salary cap space, making Diaby's projected $54 million market value manageable. Should the Bears acquire Diaby, he could serve as a long-term solution on their defensive line, especially as current players like Montez Sweat face uncertain futures.
