What happened: Josina Anderson reported mutual desire exists between the Chicago Bears and cornerback Nahshon Wright for a reunion. Wright has appeared in only three games for New York this season after signing in free agency. The pairing in Florham Park has not panned out as planned for either side.

Why it matters: Chicago is seeking secondary depth to reinforce its defensive backfield ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline following a 34-17 road victory in Seattle. For the Jets, moving Wright frees a roster spot from an underutilized position after he was bypassed in the rotation.

By the numbers: Wright has recorded 1 tackle in 2026 through 3 games. He was listed as out with a back injury for Sunday's game against Kansas City.

What to watch: The NFL trade deadline arrives Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, leaving both front offices limited time to finalize a deal.
