I was looking at the Bears roster to see who Pace could use in a trade to improve draft position. I could only come up with two guys who the Bears might be willing to send off, and (more importantly, since this is CCS) who other NFL teams might find useful....Kyle Long and Danny Trevathan.
I think Long would make the most sense. He has two years left on his contract that are relatively 'team-friendly', with the second year being a team-option year. He is a good player when healthy, and NFL teams are always looking for quality OL guys. I could see a contending team or a team who is trying to develop a young QB have interest in acquiring Long.
Trevathan is in the last year of his deal, and at $6.4M he's not necessarily a bargain. I'm not sure if Trevathan is a good enough player for an NFL team to want him for essentially a rental season. But he did start all 16 games last year, so his value is probably at its highest. He is productive, and a team that wants to develop a 'tough' image would do well in acquiring Trevathan.
Would you be sad to see either player leave?
