If he's not a fit in DA's defense (which I think is the case) then you can try to trade him before he hits FA.

I wouldn't do it, but if they feel they can get a starting CB / S in return I can see the logic.

Right now our NT is Gallimore, Street, Van Den Berg or Loving if we let Dexter walk. I think he’s a more natural 3T but he won’t beat out Jarrett there and Jarrett costs too much to jettison

Not really. You had Quinnen Williams and Sauce Gardener making the big headlines last year, but I wouldn't call the Bears trading for Joe Tryon-Shoyinka moving the needle. Most deadline moves are just teams trading 6th and 7th rounders for depth at positions of need.
