Bears Trade Dexter for Phillips | Atlanta Falcons News

The Chicago Bears just pulled off a savvy trade, sending defensive lineman Gervon Dexter Sr. to Atlanta for cornerback Clark Phillips III and a fifth-round pick—right after Dexter’s hamstring injury sparked rumors. With their defensive line reshaped this offseason, the Bears now bolster their cornerback depth, especially with injury concerns. Phillips, a former Utah standout sidelined by injury, brings versatility as a smaller, agile corner who could thrive in the nickel role. GM Ryan Poles gains draft capital while Dexter gets a fresh start with a former Bears exec. With just 14 days until their opener against Carolina, Phillips hits the field fast, and the Bears focus on locking down their defensive rotation.
