The Chicago Bears have held trade discussions involving defensive tackle Gervon Dexter, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, who reports there are multiple scenarios where a deal could get done sending the 24-year-old to a new team.
Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report): Sources: The #Bears have had trade discussions involving DT Gervon Dexter, and there are multiple scenarios where a deal could get done sending him to a new team. Dexter, still just 24 years old, started all 17 games last season and has 13.5 career sacks and 42 QB hits. He’s in the final year of his rookie contract.
Dexter is a notable name to dangle: he started all 17 games last season and has 13.5 career sacks and 42 quarterback hits across his young career. He's also in the final year of his rookie contract, which makes him both a valuable asset and, for a team weighing its roster against the Aug. 30 cutdown, a movable piece. Schultz framed the chatter as exploratory rather than imminent — "multiple scenarios where a deal could get done" — so this is a rumor, not a done deal.
