The Chicago Bears have been more aggressive in acquiring players through trade than dealing them away over the last two years.
However, the Bears do have some trade candidates on their roster going into training camp because of the talent they amassed under general manager Ryan Poles.
Running back could be the position targeted most by other teams since the Bears are four deep starting with D'Andre Swift.
The Bears' recent wide receiver acquisitions could give them too much depth at the position, which may lead to some players looking for better opportunities elsewhere by the end of training camp.

Khalil Herbert is the most logical trade candidate on Chicago's running back depth chart.
D'Andre Swift was signed in the offseason and Roschon Johnson is a backup with plenty of potential.
Herbert enters training camp as the No. 3 running back on the depth chart and there may not be room for him to move upward.
Herbert ran for over 600 yards in each of the last two seasons. That should be intriguing for any team in search of running back depth.
Of course, the Bears could keep Herbert as insurance in case an injury happens, but he may want more snaps from the start of the season.
Velus Jones Jr.

Velus Jones Jr.'s importance in the NFL grew in the offseason with the introduction of the new kickoff rules.
However, he may not directly benefit from those regulations with the Bears.
The Bears have Dante Pettis and Tyler Scott on the roster as well. They could opt to go with Pettis or Scott on kick and punt returns over Jones since the Tennessee product experienced some struggles in the last two seasons.
Other teams may not be blessed with multiple options in the return game. They could look to the Bears for help if their current options are not good enough.
Jones could also be released by the Bears and picked up somewhere else, but if they see a need elsewhere, they could try and milk a late-round draft pick out of that situation.
Brett Rypien

Any backup quarterback with a bit of starting experience in the NFL could be intriguing to teams in need of help at the position.
Brett Rypien only played in 10 games across his four-year career, but that is still a better number than other potential backups in the NFL.
Chicago brought in Rypien to compete with Tyson Bagent for the No. 2 spot on the depth chart behind Caleb Williams.
If Bagent beats out Rypien, the Bears could seek a late-round draft pick in exchange for Rypien if there are one or two dire quarterback situations across the league.
He is obviously not the most attractive quarterback to trade for, but any experience is better than no experience. From the Bears perspective he would be one of the only tradeable assets because they are building instead of shredding their roster.
