The plan for Chicago is to find a young stud to pair with <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/nfl\/player\/gervon-dexter\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Gervon Dexter Sr.<\/a> during the 2026 NFL Draft, but Harrison Graham of Chat Sports <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LIjGZuuTSzw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">pitched a trade scenario<\/a> sending a 2026 third-round pick in exchange for Ojomo, who had a breakout year behind <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/nfl\/player\/jalen-carter\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jalen Carter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/nfl\/player\/jordan-davis\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jordan Davis<\/a> in Philly.<\/p>\n<p>Bears Trade Pitch Swaps Day 2 Pick for Eagles DT Moro Ojomo<\/p>\n<p>Graham gave a detailed explanation of the thought process on why the Bears would be interested in a player like Ojomo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay, how about Moro Ojomo to the Bears? So the Eagles, the rumors have been flying around them. They obviously extended Jordan Davis. The Jalen Carter rumors are out there, but then a new report came out and said they\u2019re actually not trading him. They want to extend him. So let\u2019s say they do find a way to extend him. Well, Moro Ojomo, who\u2019s also extension eligible, is entering the last year of his rookie contract. They drafted <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/nfl\/player\/ty-robinson\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ty Robinson<\/a> last year. They might just run out of defensive tackle budget in Philadelphia because Carter is going to cost a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Moro Ojomo had a really good third season. Third-round pick to Philadelphia for a young, ascending defensive tackle that can play all three downs. He\u2019s good against the run, he\u2019s good against the pass. Last year, he had an excellent year as an interior pass rusher. 49 pressures for Philadelphia a year ago. That\u2019s one of the better numbers in the <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/nfl\/\" title=\"NFL\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"192972\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NFL<\/a> among DTs. He had six sacks as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More on the Trade Possibility Surrounding Ojomo<\/p>\n<p>While the Eagles haven\u2019t publicly shopped Ojomo, it\u2019ll make sense why Philadelphia would want to recoup some draft capital, especially since they already have two monster DTs in Carter and Davis who demand big-time money.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing to add about Ojomo is his 10% pass-rush-win-rate ranked 11th among all qualified defensive tackles in the NFL last season, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/46138675\/2025-nfl-win-rates-top-teams-players-rankings-pass-run-block\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">according to ESPN statistics.<\/a> That\u2019s ahead of notable DTs like <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/nfl\/player\/zach-allen\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Zach Allen<\/a> (13th), <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/nfl\/player\/braden-fiske\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Braden Fiske<\/a> (14th), <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/nfl\/player\/byron-murphy-2\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Byron Murphy II<\/a> (16th), and even his own teammate Jalen Carter (18th).<\/p>\n<p>Bears general manager Ryan Poles doesn\u2019t have the best track record drafting in the third round. In fact, he hasn\u2019t hit on any of his third-round selections, so trading one away for a guy like Ojomo would be a huge win for Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>As Graham mentioned, he\u2019s heading into the <a href=\"https:\/\/overthecap.com\/player\/moro-ojomo\/11073\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">final year of his rookie deal.<\/a> The Bears would essentially have him on a one-year rental, so even if a trade isn\u2019t an option this offseason, Chicago can wait until free agency next season and make a push to sign Ojomo without giving up any draft capital.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, Ojomo fits what the Chicago wants at defensive tackle and could be in a Bears uniform in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tMore Heavy on Bears\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\tLoading more stories\n\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Getty PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA &#8211; OCTOBER 26: Moro Ojomo #97 and Jalen Carter #98 of the Philadelphia Eagles celebrate&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":814093,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2070],"tags":[374,692,391,2493,7,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-814092","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-chicago-bears","8":"tag-bears","9":"tag-chicago","10":"tag-chicago-bears","11":"tag-chicagobears","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116234682729816096","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814092","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=814092"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814092\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/814093"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=814092"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=814092"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=814092"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
