5 teams that should call Bills about Stefon Diggs after sideline outburst

4. Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears disastrously burned a second-round pick on the Chase Claypool trade last season. With Claypool finally out the door, Chicago could pivot to looking for more effective reinforcements in the pass-catching department. Few fit the bill better than Stefon Diggs, who would form a deadly one-two punch with D.J. Moore.

Justin Fields' performance over the last two weeks has Chicago fans carefully embracing a more optimistic outlook on the future. Fields currently leads the NFL with 11 touchdown passes (to only five INTs) after a productive Thursday night in the nation's capital. He remains a tier-one athlete for the position and while consistency is clearly a point of concern, we know the ceiling is high.

There has been a loud push for the Bears to sell high, and maybe that's the move. It's no secret that Chicago fans have inevitable 2024 No. 1 pick Caleb Williams in their sight. Still, the Bears could be persuaded to lean into Fields' development if he continues his upward trend. Diggs would cost a lot, but the Bears have two juicy first-round picks and enough draft capital to make the Bills think if talks open up.

It has been a struggle at times for the Bears' wideout group this season, but Moore put together a monster three-TD performance on Thursday. With Fields figuring it out and the offense approaching a level of respectability, Diggs could push Chicago into high gear.

It would be more of a multi-year process — which, again, could dissuade the ultra-competitive Diggs — but the Bears have proven their desire to operate aggressively on the trade market. A Diggs trade could actually pay dividends.
