The Chicago Bears haven't been mentioned as a team that could be active leading up the NFL trade deadline.

Well, at least in terms of incoming personnel.

This is a team that's focused on pushing bad contracts out, to free up more financial flexibility for the future, where the organization can then try their hardest to fill whatever holes they have on the roster.

Even still though, that doesn't mean this team can't be thought of as a potential buyer on the market. Especially with the influx on young talent that desperately need fresh starts.

Like Denver Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam, who was listed as a potential theoretical trade target for the Bears per NFL.com.

I know the Bears are being labeled as "sellers" after trading away Robert Quinn, but there's still a huge need to invest in weapons for Justin Fields. Why not make a deadline move to land a talented player like Albert O, who is buried on the depth chart in Denver? In previous seasons, the former fourth-round pick flashed some playmaking skills and the ability to generate separation, traits the Bears need in their pass-catching corps. Given that he's been a healthy inactive the past two weeks, the 24-year-old shouldn't cost much to pry away from Denver.

The reason for acquiring the young tight end is acceptable as well.

Still on his rookie contract, Okwuegbunam is the type of cheap flier Chicago should chase at the deadline to help Fields in his development and complement Cole Kmet, who has impressed offensive coordinator Luke Getsy. Worst-case scenario for the Bears: Ryan Poles doesn't chase him, and the TE ends up with rival Green Bay.

Adding skill talent should be a need for the Bears, regardless of their future plans with Justin Fields.

Securing the services of Okwuegbunam could be a nice start to doing just that.
