Trade idea sees Bears land 2-time Pro Bowler with 2 straight 1,000-yard seasons
The Chicago Bears failed to do anything significant by adding to the running back room this offseason, where there was a lot of speculation they would improve the position.
The only move the Bears made at running back this offseason was to draft Rutgers running back Kyle Monangai in the seventh round of the NFL Draft.
Right now, D'Andre Swift will be taking on a heavy workload as the team's No. 1 running back, but there is still a chance the team could add another running back before training camp.
Pete Martuneac from Chicago Bears On SI thinks the Bears should try to trade for Buffalo Bills running back James Cook.
"Bears fans everywhere were disappointed when the Bears were unable to select running back phenom Ashton Jeanty in the 2025 NFL Draft, and their efforts to find a top-tier runner in Rounds 2 and 3 of the draft were likewise thwarted. This position thus remains a major question mark for the Bears," Martuneac wrote. "That would change by adding Cook, who is currently unhappy with his contract situation in Buffalo. The Bears could potentially make this deal a simple swap of players, D'Andre Swift for Cook, and preserve their 2026 draft picks. Cook put up over 1,000 yards and an absurd 16 touchdowns in 2024, and he would likely give Chicago's offense a huge boost while taking a load off of quarterback Caleb Williams' shoulders."
A two-time Pro Bowler with two 1,000-yard rushing seasons in a row, Cook is playing on the final year of his four-year, $5.8 million contract.
If the Bears want to pay Cook, then trading for him would make a lot of sense. However, it wouldn't make sense if the Bears only wanted him for this season and let him walk next spring.
