The Chicago Bears are 4-2 on the season and have won three straight games. The offense has found a groove, scoring 30-plus points in back-to-back games.

While those have been positive developments, it hasn't been all good for everyone on the team. The trade deadline is on Nov. 5, and some players on the team could be shipped out.

The hope is that the Bears can recoup some trade solid trade compensation but one veteran's value hit rock bottom.

Bears News: Nate Davis’ Trade Value is Terrible News for Chicago

In an article written by Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic, he discussed a range of topics around the team. In the piece, he revealed that guard Nate Davis barely has any trade value.

"All it takes is one. While GMs around the league may see that Davis not only lost his starting job, but also is now behind Bill Murray on the depth chart after being a healthy scratch in London, someone will look at his skill set and believe he can step right into an O-line and be effective. Davis’ base salary for 2024 is guaranteed. The Bears have already paid him plenty, and they might be OK paying more if they got a draft pick in return. It’s mostly already a sunk cost at this point for them, and if someone is willing to offer a sixth-round pick, that would probably be more than enough to move him. It might have to be a conditional seventh-rounder, though."

Fishbain believes the Bears will likely receive either a sixth or conditional seventh-rounder pick in exchange for Davis if they can agree to a deal.

The 28-year-old has fallen out of favor with the coaching staff. He was a healthy scratch in Week 6 after he was benched in favor of Matt Pryor.

This season, he has a 53.6 overall grade, which is 79th among 105 qualified guards, according to PFF. Davis has also allowed six pressures, one sack, and committed three penalties.

Just in 2023, Davis signed a three-year, $30 million deal with the Bears but struggled to make a difference. The team already plans to move on from him but his value appears to be in the gutter.
