The Chicago Bears could be working to trade another one of their best players. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Bears are working to trade Martellus Bennett. If Bennett is in fact traded, the Bears would have traded their two best receiving targets in back to back seasons. Last year the Bears traded Brandon Marshall to the Jets for practically nothing. Let’s not forget the Bears will not re-sign Matt Forte, who is a huge target for Jay Cutler.

In 2015, Bennett’s 2015 season comes to an end with him appearing 11 games and recording 53 receptions for 439 yards receiving and three touchdowns.
