The Chicago Bears are finalizing their 53-man roster for the season, and they have reportedly traded Gervon Dexter.
According to multiple reports, including from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Bears are sending Dexter to the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for cornerback Clark Phillips III and a fifth-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft.
Dexter was a second-round pick of the Bears in the 2023 NFL Draft, and is entering the final season of his rookie contract. He appeared in 17 games last season, with six sacks and two fumble recoveries for the Bears, along with 44 combined tackles.
The Bears made several investments in their defensive line over the offseason, and it appears likely now that a player like Neville Gallimore or Kentavius Street will be a starting tackle alongside Grady Jarrett, though sixth-round pick Jordan van den Berg could also see increased playing time.
Acquiring Phillips was important for the Bears as they look to bolster their cornerback depth heading into the regular season. Both Jaylon Johnson and Tyrique Stevenson have been missing time during training camp with injuries, and Phillips, who had an interception and five passes defended during the 2024 season, will give the team an extra veteran boost headed into the campaign.
The Bears will have to make numerous moves on Sunday, as the team is working to trim its roster down to 53 players. Their first game of the regular season looms on September 13 when they’ll face the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte.
