A new trade proposal has the Bears weighing a surprising decision involving one of their rising defensive players.

With the NFL offseason less than three weeks away, where do the Chicago Bears stand heading into free agency? @AaronLemingNFL explores here:

In order to get over the hump and prove to the league that they're a real Super Bowl contender, the Bears will have to make some tough decisions and find upgrades at multiple positions. And fans should expect a quieter offseason given the team's current situation.

The Bears' 2025 rookie class became a key part of Chicago's incredible NFC North championship season.
