Bears in talks with multiple teams on trading

Jordan Howard could be on his way out of Chicago. ESPN reported Thursday the Bears are in dialogue with multiple teams about trading the running back, who was reportedly offered in deals on draft day 2018.

Suitors approached the Bears about making a trade for Howard at the NFL Scouting Combine last week, Adam Schefter reported Thursday. Howard, 24, is entering the final season of his rookie contract. A fifth-round pick (Indiana) in 2016, Howard rushed for 1,313 yards and scored seven touchdowns as a rookie.

He had 1,122 rushing yards and nine touchdowns in 2017, with 935 yards and nine more TDs this past season.
