5 players Bears need to trade to start building for the future

4. Eddie Jackson, S

Staying in the secondary where the Bears are currently beat up real bad, they could look at moving safety Eddie Jackson. Having missed the past two games with a foot injury, it looks like he is healthy once more, which helps the cause of potentially trading him of course.

Jackson has one more year left on his contract after this season, so a team that traded for him would get more than just this year out of him. After signing that contract a few years back, Jackson's level of play dropped significantly. It got so bad that Bears fans were wishing and hoping the team could trade him for pretty much anything.

But then, things started to slowly progress and Jackson's effort became noticeably better, as did his overall play. He still isn't back to the level he was at the early stages of his career where he seemingly came up with the football on a weekly basis. But, he's back to being a solid starting safety that could help a championship-level defense looking to fill a hole.
