Mandatory Credit: Mark Konezny-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Dawkins has long been one of the best tackles in football, but Gagnon noted that the 31-year-old has shown some signs of decline.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Remember how the Bill Belichick-era Patriots famously knew exactly when to cut bait on so-called staples? This might be that time for Buffalo and Dawkins, who gave up a career-high 42 pressures and posted the worst Pro Football Focus pass-blocking efficiency grade of his career in 2025,&#8221; Gagnon wrote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But how bad was Dawkins really?<\/p>\n<p>He still posted an 81.5 pass-blocking grade as a whole this past season, and his 73.9 overall PFF grade was very respectable.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest issue when it comes to Dawkins is his $24.4 million cap hit for 2026. The Bears have a difficult financial situation as it is, so absorbing Dawkins would prove difficult. The veteran has two years remaining on his deal, and his cap hit jumps to $25 million in 2027.<\/p>\n<p>Chicago might be better off just finding a one-year stopgap at left tackle while it waits for Ozzy Trapilo to get healthy. Or maybe the Bears can simply draft someone if they don&#8217;t think Trapilo is the long-term answer to protect Caleb Williams&#8217; blind side.<\/p>\n<p>All things considered, trading for Dawkins is probably not the way to go for Chicago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chicago Bears completed a blockbuster trade with the Buffalo Bills earlier this week, sending wide receiver D.J.
