The Chicago Bears have been a hot topic of conversation amid trade talks involving Las Vegas Raiders star pass rusher Maxx Crosby. The speculation has been heavy, and there are former players with connection to current Bears coaches who believe the move would make all the sense.
When Ben Johnson was hired last season as the team's head coach, he named veteran coach Dennis Allen as his defensive coordinator, after years of serving as a defensive coordinator and head coach for the New Orleans Saints. One of Allen's former players, offensive lineman Terron Armstead, believes the rumors involving Crosby and Chicago have his former coach's fingerprints all over it.
"I keep hearing chatter about Maxx Crosby, we keep hearing about Maxx Crosby's potential move, that has Dennis Allen all over it," Armstead said on 104.3 The Score. "That situation has Dennis Allen over it, I can see that. I can see Maxx Crosby coming to Chicago in a package for Tremaine Edmunds, DJ Moore, first-round pick, whatever.
"Dennis Allen, what he was able to do in New Orleans having Cam Jordan, he's able to build and scheme pressures away from Cam to where you have to block him one-on-one. Whether you know these safeties or corners are blitzing or no, this tackle has to dance one-on-one with Cam Jordan, he (Allen) can get that with Maxx Crosby. I don't want to hype them up too much, but I like what the Bears are doing, what they're building, the way they're building it, it's been fun. It's been fun to see the Bears' process from last year's training camp, to now."
The league-wide speculation about Crosby's future home continues to link back to the Bears, and the possibilities with the superstar edge rusher and Allen are quite exciting. There's still plenty of ways to go before a deal is made, but at the very least, word is out that Chicago is looking to make a big splash this offseason, one way or another.
