The Chicago Bears are off to a 2-2 start in the 2025 season but rank 24th in rushing yards per game, highlighting a clear need for a dynamic backfield addition during their upcoming bye week. With D'Andre Swift as the lead back but the room lacking explosiveness, trade rumors have heated up ahead of the November 4 deadline. Based on recent reports and speculation, here are four realistic running back trade targets that could elevate their ground game.
Top Trade Targets
De'Von Achane (Miami Dolphins): The explosive speed back has been Miami's change-of-pace weapon but could be expendable for the right price. Achane's elusiveness would pair perfectly with Swift for a versatile committee, addressing Chicago's 24th-ranked yards after contact. He's the most obvious and frequently mentioned fit for the Bears.
Projected cost: Mid-round 2026 pick (maybe even more)
Breece Hall (New York Jets): A budding superstar with over 2,300 rushing yards over his first three seasons, Hall's vision and receiving skills (50+ catches in each of the last two years) make him a three-down threat. The Jets 0-4 start could make him available, especially if they're sellers—pairing him with Caleb Williams could transform the Bears offense.
Projected cost: 2nd or 3rd round pick
Alvin Kamara (New Orleans Saints): The veteran dual threat running back remains a monster at age 30 despite New Orleans 0-4 start. He'd provide immediate stability and even more screen-game juice for Chicago, at a reasonable price given his contract year. Multiple teams, including the Bears, are likely interested but Kamara has stated in the past that he prefer to finish his career in New Orleans.
Projected cost: Mid-round pick
Tyler Allgeier (Atlanta Falcons): A bruising 2022 fifth-rounder, Allgeier could be shopped if Atlanta leans more on Bijan Robinson. His power-running style would complement Swift's elusiveness and fix Chicago's short-yardage woes and just bring more juice in between the tackles.
Projected cost: Sixth-round pick
