Chicago Bears: 4 big names on trade block to avoid
By Ryan Heckman
Stefon Diggs, Wide Receiver, Minnesota Vikings
Some fans may have seen all of the rumors regarding Stefon Diggs and called for the Bears to make a move. My question is: Why? There is no reason.
First off, I don’t think the Bears want a guy who complains about his target share on a winning team. It’s silly to be upset with how often you’re getting the ball when your team is winning. Not to mention, the Bears might already have a case like that on their team. Second-year pro Anthony Miller has gone to social media every once and a while with cryptic posts and angry replies to fans — not a good look.
The most obvious reason to avoid even thinking about a trade for Diggs is due to his price tag. If the Bears were to entertain a trade involving Diggs, they would have to absorb a deal which, in total, is paying the Maryland product $72 million over five years.
If they chose to do that, the Bears would likely have to include either Allen Robinson or Taylor Gabriel — but, why do that in the first place? Robinson has been phenomenal this season and Gabriel has proven he can be a big focal point if given the opportunity.
I’ll pass on Diggs.
