Chicago Bears: Which teams are interested in Jordan Howard?

4. Philadelphia Eagles

It’s clear that the Philadelphia Eagles are in the market for a running back. Their starter in 2018, Jay Ajayi, had his season cut short due to a torn ACL. Since Ajayi has dealt with injury issues these last few years, the Eagles are likely looking to find someone more durable.

Back in October, the Eagles also offered the Bears a third-round pick for Jordan Howard. While the Bears declined, the two sides could talk again this offseason and potentially make a deal. If the two sides do end up talking again, the Bears could ship Howard out for just one pick or multiple, depending on what the Eagles are willing to give up.

The Eagles will use the leverage that they have and say that Howard is nothing more than a one-dimensional runner. Considering the fact that Philadelphia has two second-round picks (53rd and 57th overall), the Bears could demand just one of those second-round picks if Ryan Pace wants a second day two pick.

Unfortunately, since the Eagles do not have a third-round pick, the Bears will then need to look at the Eagles’ two fourth-round picks (126th and 138th overall). This isn’t an ideal scenario for the Bears, but considering the draft history that Ryan Pace has in the fourth and fifth rounds, the Bears could end up in a situation where they get the better end of the deal.
