The Chicago Bears are a team that needs help. Their defense is great but if J.J. Watt wants to come to play here, it would be welcomed.
There is a quote going around about J.J. Watt that should catch the attention of all Chicago Bears fans right now. Apparently, he and his wife think that the city of Chicago is great and it’s food is awesome — and, he could see himself living there. He apparently also hinted at the idea of playing here alongside Khalil Mack on what would be one of the best defensive lines in the NFL.
With Mack, Akiem Hicks, and Robert Quinn, it is already one of the best defensive fronts in the NFL and one that should have the other NFC quarterbacks a bit concerned. Even with his injury history and the fact that he is a bit older, he would still be an extra threat on this line. He would make it a defensive line that can get to the quarterback better than any team in the NFL more than it already is.
Watt currently plays for the Houston Texans where he has been a five-time Pro Bowler and a multi-time defensive player of the year. There was a point where he was known as the best defensive player in the league and arguably the single best NFL player in the league. In his 112 game NFL career, he has 96 sacks, 373 tackles, and 23 forced fumbles.

A second is nice but Hopkins is one of the best receivers in the NFL so it isn’t the greatest trade of all time. Due to the fact that the culture is getting pretty lowly there, Watt might be able to be had for a cheap price. One of these three packages might get it done:
