The Bears could make a major trade with a familiar face in 2023.

Bears general Manager Ryan Poles will have a big decision to make with his No. 1 pick next year.
Heading into Week 13, the Chicago Bears sit at 3-9 and are set to have the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft.
What general manager Ryan Poles and company do with that pick remains a mystery, but one scenario that keeps coming up is the trade down — and that could be a very good thing for Chicago.
Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report ranked the “best trade pieces” of the 2023 season, and he thinks draft capital will be No. 1. “The biggest 2023 trade chip of all could be an early first-round pick,” Knox wrote on December 2. “Next year’s draft class is expected to be loaded with quality quarterback prospects, which can create an active trade market.”
Knox also thinks the Bears could get a ton in return if they decide to trade their No. 2 pick to a quarterback-needy team.
“There are a couple of teams that could be candidates to flip early first-round selections for massive trade hauls,” Knox noted, before naming names.
