BREAKING NEWS: Multiple Report Reveals Bears-Chargers Blockbuter Trade Idea Might Actually Be Worth It For Chicago

We don’t yet know who will play quarterback for the Chicago Bears next season, but that doesn’t mean the team can’t strive to enhance the skill positions surrounding the quarterback position.

Bleacher Report recently recommended a trade between the Bears and the San Diego Chargers including wide receiver Mike Williams as a method for the Chargers to free up salary budget space, but the deal might also benefit the Bears. In the intended trade, the Bears would send a 2024 fourth-round pick (111th overall) to Los Angeles for Williams.
According to Bleacher Report, the Chargers can utilize the selection received in exchange for Williams to select a running back or offensive lineman in the later rounds of the draft.

“As wideout Darnell Mooney prepares to test free agency, the Chicago Bears are looking for a No. 2 wideout to supplement DJ Moore. If healthy, Williams can assault defences from the top and serve as the primary red-zone target for whoever starts at quarterback in Chicago next season.

Why the transaction might make sense for Chicago.
The Bears might use another receiver if Darnell Mooney leaves in free agency, and Williams would be an ideal fit. Williams, who is 6’4′, would give the Bears a sizable red zone target to compliment D.J. Moore, and he has a proven track record of productivity.

Williams has over 4,800 receiving yards in his career and has caught 31 touchdown passes. Having a lot of quality — and size — at the receiver positions will only benefit whoever plays quarterback for Chicago, especially considering that quarterback is almost certainly Justin Fields or a rookie.

The Bears have a lot of budget space this offseason, so they could easily absorb Williams’ 2024 contract, which includes a basic salary of $17 million. Furthermore, adding Williams to the mix would not necessitate a long-term commitment from the Los Angeles front management, since he is set to become unrestricted free agency next offseason.

Loading up on offensive talent to make things easier for the quarterback makes sense for Chicago, and although that doesn’t guarantee that the Bears will make a trade for Williams, there’s at least one argument that doing so would be helpful.
