sports.espn.go.com— With their wide receiver corps depleted by training camp injuries, the Bears may want to acquire the Broncos' Ashley Lelie. The Broncos want to do a 1-for-1 swap with Lelie and RB Thomas Jones.

I can see Lelie ending up a Bear but there is no way Chicago is going to give up Jones right now, especially with Benson still sidelined. I just saw an interview with him from a couple hours ago and Benson says everything checked out ok and he just needs a bit of rest but that isn't going to put Jones back on the block like he was two weeks ago. The Bears are still going to be a running team and I don't think they will risk giving up Jones.
Is it really worth it to give up Lelie for players the Broncos don't really need? They definitely need a viable #3 receiver option, but I don't think the Bears could really provide that.

I'd love to get TJ, but it'll never happen. I just hope to god we don't trade for yet ANOTHER defensive linemen. How many do we seriously need?!

Right now they are going for receivers. The defense is set.
