Chicago Bears: 5 players on trade block to consider buying
By Ryan Heckman
Leonard Williams, Defensive Lineman, New York Jets
The depth up front on defense has me concerned a little bit. Akiem Hicks has already gone down with his second injury of the season, and the Bears have played without Bilal Nichols for a couple of games now. Thankfully, Nichols should be back soon.

However, if Ryan Pace had the opportunity to snag a guy like Leonard Williams for a mid-round pick, he’d have to pull the trigger.
The New York Jets are winless entering Week 6. Starting quarterback Sam Darnold is finally back after dealing with a case of mono. But, at 0-4, the Jets’ likelihood of turning things around and entering the playoff hunt are slim to none.
Williams has been somewhat of a disappointment for the Jets, who selected him with the sixth overall pick back in 2015. On a defense like Chicago, he would have no choice but to succeed. Surrounded by a plethora of talent, Williams would have plenty of opportunities to get to the quarterback and aid in stuffing the run.
