The Chicago Bears had arguably the best offseason of any team in the NFL. After coming up short of expectations in 2024, general manager Ryan Poles was very aggressive this offseason in an attempt to push the team back into playoff contention.
While the Bears were very aggressive to begin the offseason, it doesn’t seem likely that they’re done with that mindset. If more opportunities come up for them to make a big move, they would likely consider them.

That is exactly what Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio has suggested.

Back in April, Dolphins’ general manager Chris Grier stated that he would listen to offers for Hill. He did make it clear that it would take a lot to acquire him, but the statement itself was surprising.
“If someone wants to come and give me two first round picks then we’d consider it,” Grier said. “But, as of right now, it’s not something we’re considering.”
Florio then started looking into which teams could pursue a trade for Hill if he is placed on the trade block. The first teams mentioned were the Baltimore Ravens, Houston Texans, Los Angeles Chargers, San Francisco 49ers, and Buffalo Bills. After those five teams, he talked about the Bears.
“The Bears also would be an intriguing option, especially with former Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy on the coaching staff,” he wrote. “But they’re currently loaded at receiver; it wouldn’t work unless they’d send D.J. Moore to Miami as part of the trade.”
Hill had a bit of a down year in 2024. He caught 81 passes for 959 yards and six touchdowns.

However, during the 2023 season he racked up 1,799 yards and 13 touchdowns on 119 catches. In 2022, he totaled 119 receptions for 1,710 yards and seven scores.
There is no question that Hill is still one of the best playmakers in the NFL. Even after a down year, he’s well worth pursuing if he’s available. Chicago’s offense would take a huge leap forward with Hill on the roster.
While this is a very unlikely option for the Bears, they would make sense as a possible destination if Hill is indeed shopped around by Miami.
