NFL trade deadline: Tracking the Bears' latest news and rumors

The NFL trade deadline is just hours away, and all eyes are on the Chicago Bears and whether they're expected to make moves ahead of the Nov. 10 cutoff.

With the Bears sitting at 7-2 with the trade deadline on deck, the indication among NFL insiders is that Chicago is still looking to make a move, even after trading for All-Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, who's made an impressive impact in his first two games. There are still needs in the secondary at cornerback and even tight end, especially after the loss of Cole Kmet for the season.

Below, we’ll track the latest news and rumors around the Bears at the trade deadline:

Bears exploring potential cornerback trade

According to ESPN insider Dan Graziano, the Bears are "still poking around on potentially available cornerbacks" ahead of next week's Nov. 10 trade deadline. Chicago has been dealing with injuries in the secondary dating back to training camp, where safety Coby Bryant suffered a knee injury expected to keep him out for most of this season. But cornerback has been a bigger concern. Fourth-round rookie Malik Muhammad has been the team's best cover corner with former All-Pro Jaylon Johnson and Tyrique Stevenson struggling, so adding someone like Philadelphia's Riq Woolen or Tennessee's Alontae Taylor would make sense.

Is Khalil Mack off the table?

The Bears have been connected with former franchise edge rusher Khalil Mack for weeks leading up to the trade deadline, where a reunion would make sense. But even sitting at 0-8, the Los Angeles Chargers are not interested in parting ways with the former All-Pro.

Bears trade for Jeffery Simmons

Chicago's first move ahead of the trade deadline was to shore up their defensive line with All-Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, sending two first-round picks to the Tennessee Titans. It's a move that's looked like a steal after his first two games with the Bears, where he's totaled two sacks, 10 tackles, two QB hits and two pass breakups while opening things up for other players on defense.
