Bears Trade Dexter for Phillips | Atlanta Falcons News

The Chicago Bears make a savvy move before the roster cut deadline, sending defensive tackle Gervon Dexter to Atlanta in exchange for cornerback Clark Phillips and a fifth-round pick. Dexter, a second-rounder who started all 17 games last season with 48 tackles and 6 sacks, brings proven production. Phillips, a fourth-rounder sidelined by injury last year, gets a fresh start in Chicago. With depth at DT via Grady Jarrett and Neville Gallimore, the Bears are reshaping their defense ahead of kickoff — a trade that highlights how teams constantly pivot to find the right fit.
