What happened: Chicago sits 3-1 entering the Nov. 10 deadline window with needs at edge rusher and defensive back. ESPN's Dan Graziano tabbed the Bears as buyers if they survive Caleb Williams' absence the past two games.

Why it matters: Chicago has stayed in the NFC race without its starting quarterback, raising the value of one or two veteran adds. Adding Khalil Mack would pair a run-stout edge with Montez Sweat at a fraction of the 2018 blockbuster cost.

What to watch: Watch Williams' return timeline and whether Los Angeles retains salary closer to Nov. 10 to facilitate a deal.
