    Bears acquire Giants stud pass rusher in proposed trade by insider

    The Chicago Bears have a vastly improved roster this season, but they still need more pass rushing.

    Montez Sweat is the only proven pass rusher on the depth chart, and Chicago could definitely benefit from adding an edge talent.

    Is general manager Ryan Poles going to bring back Yannick Ngakoue ? That remains to be seen.

    ESPN's Seth Walder has an entirely different idea for the Bears: trade for New York Giants 24-year-old pass rusher Azeez Ojulari.

    To acquire Ojulari, Walder proposes a three-team trade between the Bears, Giants, and New Orleans Saints that would send Larry Borom to New Orleans and the Saints' 2025 fifth-round pick to the Giants.

    "The Bears, who are rightfully trying to win right away behind rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, would be converting Borom into another player who can help their starting lineup," Walder said.

    "That player would be Ojulari, who was pushed into the role of third pass-rusher on the Giants after they traded for Brian Burns earlier this offseason."

    "Ojulari has shown flashes as a pro, but his career has been marred by injury, as he has played 18 regular-season games over the past two seasons."

    If Chicago were to make the trade proposed by Walker, it would be banking on Ojulari to get healthy again and be consistently available.

    Will Poles make a move for Ojulari?
