Bears urged to trade for 2,528-yard rusher to spark the offense

One of the Chicago Bears' biggest failures this offseason has been adding another legit running back to the roster.

Leading up to the NFL Draft, it sounded like the Bears were going to do everything possible to draft Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, but he ended up going No. 5 to the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Bears didn't draft a running back until they took Kyle Monangai in the seventh round, and now there is a chance the team could trade for one before training camp.

Aaron Leming from Windy City Gridiron thinks the Bears should trade for Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III.

"There were plenty of pre-draft rumors about him being on the move, but nothing has come to fruition," Leming wrote. "Walker burst onto the scene in Seattle under Pete Carroll, but has regressed each year since. He’ll be in the final year of his rookie deal, so trade compensation likely starts in the early to mid Day 3 range. This might be their best bet."

Walker has been with the Seahawks for three years, rushing for 2,528 yards and 24 scores in 41 games.

If the Bears do make a trade for a running back, Walker would be a nice option. However, he is entering the final year of his contract, which means the Bears will likely have to pay him right away.
