My favorite teams
Would rather keep Lynch or get Shane Ray, or better yet, keep growing Irving/Fitts for cheap.
Take this with a grain a of salt, actually a full salt shaker but this is a possible trade scenario:
Jeff Haynes/Associated Press
If the Falcons were to acquire an expensive pass-rusher like Hughes, that could lead to a domino effect that just might send Beasley to a spot like Chicago, where the Bears would probably love to complement Khalil Mack with a relatively inexpensive former Pro Bowler.
It's possible a change of scenery would be best for Beasley as he enters a contract year at the age of 27, and his $12.8 million walk-year cap hit wouldn't cripple a Bears team that has limited salary-cap space.
Sure would be interesting to see him in a lower-pressure role with Mack and several other high-impact front-seven defenders leading the way in Chicago. The short-term gamble makes sense for the win-now Bears.
Potential trade: Bears acquire Beasley from Falcons in exchange for a third-round pick
