The Chicago Bears could be a team to watch as the 2024 NFL trade deadline approaches on November 5th. They may be active in both acquiring new talent and offloading some of their current players. One player who could be on the move is running back Khalil Herbert, who might draw interest from teams around the league. With D’Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson ahead of him on the depth chart, Herbert is somewhat expendable for the Bears.
NFL insider Ian Rapoport reports that the Bears may receive inquiries about Herbert, particularly given the injuries at the running back position across the league. Herbert has shown flashes of talent in past seasons but has had a limited role this year, with only eight carries for 16 yards and a touchdown, plus two catches for four yards through the first six games.
Last season, Herbert played a bigger role, rushing for 611 yards and two touchdowns while adding 20 receptions for 134 yards and a score. His versatility as a dual-threat running back makes him an appealing option for teams in need of a third-down back who can contribute both on the ground and through the air.
It remains to be seen what direction the Bears will take at the trade deadline, but they are a team that could be involved in making moves.
