Bears Trade Khalil Herbert to Bengals

The Chicago Bears have traded running back Khalil Herbert to the Cincinnati Bengals for a 2025 seventh-round pick, as the team looks to reshape its roster ahead of the NFL trade deadline. Herbert, who had fallen out of favor in Chicago's backfield, had limited opportunities this season, recording only eight carries for 16 yards. The trade comes as the Bears aim to improve their draft capital, now holding eight picks in the 2025 NFL Draft, including three in the first two rounds. Cincinnati, currently at 4-5, is in need of depth at running back due to Zack Moss's injury, making Herbert's acquisition timely. Herbert expressed his relief and excitement on Twitter, indicating his positive outlook on the move. This trade marks a significant transition for both teams as they adjust their rosters mid-season.
