Chicago Bears Consider Trading for High-Profile NFL Head Coach

Bears GM Ryan Poles keeps trade options open as the team evaluates numerous candidates to fill its head coaching vacancy.

Chicago Bears GM Ryan Poles confirmed he is open to exploring trades for an established NFL head coach during the team's current search process.
Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell has been the subject of trade speculation, but his strong performance in 2024 makes a move unlikely.
Other rumored trade targets include San Francisco's Kyle Shanahan and Miami's Mike McDaniel, though no formal discussions have been reported.
The Bears have requested interviews with over a dozen coaching candidates, including Detroit Lions coordinators Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn, as well as Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores.
Detroit Lions face potential offseason challenges with both coordinators in high demand for head coaching vacancies across the NFL.
