3. Could the Chicago Bears trade for Marvin Jones?

The Jacksonville Jaguars went out and splurged on wide receivers this offseason. Since the people who brought in Marvin Jones are mostly gone, you could see that the team may not be interested in keeping him. They could save about $6M to get off of Jones, and it could take a late draft pick to make it happen.

The downside to Jones is that he is 32 years old, and he is signed for this year only. He is basically a rental. The upside is that he would only cost $6M or less, which is a great deal for the acquiring team depending on the draft cost.

Chicago Bears fans know Marvin Jones, but so does Matt Eberflus after scheming against him twice last season. Eberflus should know that he would be another stylistic fit next to Justin Fields. His ability to go up and get the deep ball would mesh well with Fields and his thought to chuck it and watch his guys go get it.

This is a trade that would cost less cap space and draft picks than some of the big names but could help Justin Fields in a big way.
