Did he mention why he thought that? Has he heard anything from the Eagles' camp? Any undisclosed source? Or was it just an off the cuff "darkhorse" comment?

I like you, Warden. You aren't quick to jump the gun as others.

No idea. The station tweeted the highlights after he was done.

A second would definitely be tempting, but I'm such a running game homer.

It'd have to be a player-for-player swap. Bears see themselves as title contenders this year, I'm not doing anything that would hurt those chances. If Philly offered a 1st I'd think really hard (moreso because flipping that first for somebody else could improve the team massively) but anything less than that is a no. A 2019 2nd rounder does nothing to help this squad we have here today.

Trading Howard for Foles would be the riskiest move imaginable but the potential for a monster payoff is immense. What if Jared Goff or someone goes down for the year? The Packers, Chiefs, Saints, Seahawks and Patriots would probably just give up if they lost their QB for the year...but everyone else? Man...they would about give the Bears anything if they thought Foles kept their hopes alive.
The downside is if nobody gets injured the Bears traded a stud for somebody who probably never sees the field (unless Mitch gets hurt). Risk factor: over 9000. I wouldn't do it, but its a thought.

There's absolutely nothing but rumors concerning this.
But just to entertain a hypothetical: the one thing we don't really know is how Nagy feels about Nall on the PS. If the plan is to use Cohen more, then we should be ok without a Howard-level power RB.
But I don't think there's any way we even think about it during the season unless it's for at minimum a 2nd rounder. And I seriously doubt we get offered anything close to that...

My favorite teams
Nick Foles is a last chance move. The Bears are super young and not in cap he'll like the Eagles.

Here's a fun game: Try to cite a single fact in that linked article.
The only one is that Clayton was on SportsRadio 94WIP.

Get rid of our RB at this point in time would be a huge huge mistake. Zero chance.

BS speculation. We can play with the idea though... what would you demand for Jordan Howard?
1st round pick? A 1st and a player? 1st and another 1st? What is it worth to give up a bell cow Rb that has suddenly developed hands?

What's the over/under on Cohen getting injured five seconds after a Howard trade?

Yea the only way this makes sense is if we get a first offer and that won’t happen. Howard will get plenty of fantasy points for us and we need him in the 4th to wear down defenses. Just because of one game not going to drink that

Hmm, Gabriel does seem OK at running the ball. He replaces Howard. Jeffery replaces Gabriel.

Trade him for a 6th. "Stone Hands" Howard is garbage in this offense.

And then the Bears can tear up the league with Ryan Nall, right?
