Chicago Bears urged to trade for future Hall of Famer to protect Caleb Williams in 2026
The Chicago Bears have been busy assembling their roster for the 2026 NFL season. Following the sudden retirement of Pro Bowl center Drew Dalman, they acquired Garrett Bradbury to replace him. In order to do that, they traded away wide receiver DJ Moore to the New England Patriots.
Trading away Moore benefits the Bears two ways. First, they got their replacement at center. Second, moving Moore opens up more opportunities for their younger core of pass catchers.
But while their receiving room is still solid, the offensive line still has questions. This is particularly true at left tackle, the most important position on the line.
Chicago Bears urged to trade for future Hall of Fame left tackle Trent Williams

Left tackle, of course, is vital to any team with a right-handed quarterback because they protect the blindside. Caleb Williams, as the Bears franchise quarterback, must be protected from pass rushers that he cannot see.
Unfortunately, starting left tackle Ozzy Trapilo tore his patellar tendon in the NFL Playoffs and may not be able to play in 2026. Braxton Jones was brought back on a one-year deal, but Chicago would probably prefer to use him as a swing tackle as opposed to a regular starting left tackle.
As such, The Sporting News urged the Bears to look into trading for future Pro Football Hall of Famer Trent Williams:
“With the Bears having Super Bowl aspirations in 2026, it’s not crazy to think Chicago wouldn’t mind bringing in a future Hall of Famer to protect Caleb Williams’ blindside.”
Williams made the Pro Bowl, the 12th of his career, in 2025 and was named Second Team All-Pro. He also is a three-time First Team All-Pro selection.
The San Francisco 49ers recently declined Williams’ $10 million option on his contract, which means 2026 will be the final year of his deal. If he decides he wants more guarantees and asks for a trade, Chicago could be very interested, given the fact that they believe they can compete for a Super Bowl next season.
