The NFL trade deadline is tomorrow and the Chicago Bears already got themselves a big trade when the team acquired defensive end Gaines Adams(notes) on Friday from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And now the team is trying to land a linebacker by tomorrow's deadline, according to the National Football Post.
The need apparently became even more apparent after yesterday's 21-14 loss to the Atlanta Falcons when veteran linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa(notes) went down with a knee injury just after returning from three weeks of recuperating from injury.
The Bears have had a lot of injuries at linebacker this season, with both Hunter Hillenmeyer(notes) and Brian Urlacher(notes) also currently out.
A rumored target is Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson.
