One of the most fun things about following the NFL draft is watching all of the wheeling and dealing the GMs do to either move up and snag their guy, or move back to recoup even more picks.

So with the 2020 draft coming up, we're taking a look at the most recent trades the Bears have made with every other NFL team.

Bears receive 2017 2nd-round (No. 45 overall), 4th-round (No. 119 overall), 6th-round (No. 197 overall) and 2018 4th-round (No. 115 overall) picks in exchange for 2017 2nd-round (No. 36 overall) pick. 

Ryan Pace moved down for a handful of picks and ended up with Adam Shaheen, Tarik Cohen and Joel Iyiegbuniwe. The Cardinals got Buddha Baker. Advantage Cardinals.

Bears receive 2013 5th-round (No. 163 overall) and 7th-round (No. 236 overall) picks in exchange for 2013 5th-round (No. 153 overall) pick.

The Bears drafted Jordan Mills and Marquess Wilson who were decent rotational players in Chicago. The Falcons nabbed Stansly Maponga who recorded eight tackles in 24 career games in Atlanta.

It's been widely reported that the Bears *almost* made a trade with Ravens during the 2011 draft. As the story goes, Bears GM Jerry Angelo and Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome had agreed to deal where the Bears would move up to the Ravens' No. 26 overall slot, while the Ravens would take the Bears' No. 29 overall pick, plus a fourth-rounder. Problem is, the Bears never called in the trade to make it official, the clock expired on the Ravens for the No. 26 pick and the draft moved on with the Chiefs leapfrogging the Ravens to pick next. Baltimore recovered and got their pick in after the Chiefs, but they were reportedly none too pleased with the Bears after the miscommunication.

Bears receive 2016 2nd-round (No. 49 overall), 4th-round (No. 117 overall) picks and 2017 4th-round (No. 117 overall) pick in exchange for 2016 2nd-round (No. 41 overall) pick.

The Bears ended up trading away all of this draft capital in other deals. The Bills picked Reggie Ragland but traded him to the Chiefs before he ever played in Buffalo. **Shrug**
 

Bears receive 2016 6th-round (No. 206 overall) pick in exchange for Jared Allen. 

Allen never lived up to the standards he set in Minnesota, and the Bears ended up trading away the pick they received from Carolina.

Bears receive Bill Staley and Harry Gunner in exchange for Rufus Mayes. 

The Bears got three seasons out of Staley and one from Gunner while Mayes started 98 games over eight seasons at left tackle for the Bengals. Advantage Bengals.

*Note: Pro Football Reference trade history only dates back to 1994. This was the most recent trade we could find between the two teams.

Bears receive 2007 7th-round pick (No. 221 overall) in exchange for Lennie Friedman.

The Bears ended up drafting Trumaine McBride, who started 10 games and picked off one ball for the Bears over three seasons. Friedman played 32 games at guard for the Browns.

Bears receive 2002 3rd-round (No. 72 overall), 4th-round (No. 104 overall) and 5th-round (No. 140 overall) picks in exchange for 2002 2nd-round (No. 63 overall) and 4th-round (No. 129 overall) picks. 

The best players to come out of this trade were Alex Brown for the Bears and Antonio Bryant for the Cowboys. Both great players, but Bears get the edge as Brown played in Chicago for eight seasons to Bryant’s three in Dallas.

Bears receive 2014 4th-round (No. 131 overall) and 7th-round (No. 246 overall) picks in exchange for 2014 5th-round (No. 156 overall) and 2015 5th-round (No. 143 overall) picks.

Bears end up with Brock Vereen and Charles Leno. Any time you acquire a left tackle who’s started 78 games (and counting), you’ve done something right.

*Note: Pro Football Reference trade history only dates back to 1994. We couldn’t find any trades between the two teams.

Bears receive Glyn Milburn in exchange for 1999 7th-round (No. 213 overall) pick.

Milburn had one All-Pro season as a return specialist for the Bears, but the Packers ended up drafting Donald Driver with the pick they got from Chicago. So, yeah, the Packers can add another “W” to their long streak of wins over the Bears from 1994-1998.

Bears receive Sherrick McManis in exchange for Tyler Clutts.

McManis ended up being a special teams standout and nickelback specialist for the Bears over eight seasons with the Bears.
 

Bears receive offensive linemen Dick Barwegan and Dub Garrett in exchange for George Blanda among other players, according to the Baltimore Sun.

This is easily the strangest transaction we were able to dig up. According to the Sun, the Bears sent Blanda to the Colts back when they were still in Baltimore, but after one game the Colts decided to trade Blanda to the Packers. However George Halas said he had an agreement with the Colts that they couldn’t send Blanda to Green Bay, so Blanda was returned to Chicago.

*Note: Pro Football Reference trade history only dates back to 1994. This was the most recent trade we could find between the two teams.

Bears receive Nick Foles in exchange for a 2020 fourth-round compensatory (No. 140 overall) draft pick.

In the most recent of all Bears trades, the team got its competition for Mitchell Trubisky. Time will tell how this one works out for the team.

Bears receive Chris Penn in exchange for 1998 5th-round (No. 128 overall) pick.

Penn played two seasons for the Bears, catching 78 balls for 1,024 yards and six touchdowns. The Chiefs drafted Robert Williams who only started one game at DB in his career.

Bears receive Eddy Pineiro in exchange for a 2021 seventh-round draft pick.

After Cody Parkey double-doinked the Bears needed a kicker, and Pineiro ended up being their guy.

Bears receive Dontrelle Inman in exchange for a 2018 conditional draft pick.

The Bears WR corps had been decimated by injuries so they made a move for Inman. The conditions for the pick weren’t met, so the Bears essentially got Inman for free.

Bears receive 2017 4th-round (No. 112 overall) draft pick in exchange for 2017 4th-round (No. 117 overall) and 6th-round (No. 197 overall) picks.

The Bears moved up to take a chance on Eddie Jackson, who had slipped down the draft board due to injury concerns. Safe to say, the gamble paid off.

Bears receive Brandon Marshall in exchange for two 2012 3rd-round picks (No. 73 and 82 overall).

Brandon Marshall became one of the most productive receivers in Bears history, while the Dolphins ended up trading away each of those 3rd-round picks.

*Note: Pro Football Reference trade history only dates back to 1994. We couldn’t find any trades between the two teams.

Bears receive 2019 3rd-round (No. 73 overall) draft pick in exchange for 2019 3rd-round (No. 87 overall) pick, 5th-round (No. 162) overall pick and 2020 fifth-round pick.

The Bears moved up in the 2019 draft to snag David Montgomery, who showed promise as a strong rusher in his rookie season.

Bears receive Eddie Kennison in exchange for a 2000 5th-round (No. 138 overall) pick.

Kennison caught two touchdowns in his lone season in Chicago. The Saints ended up trading away the pick they received from the Bears.

The Bears receive a 1972 1st-round (No. 3 overall) pick in exchange for Bob Hyland and Bennie McRae, according to the New York Times.

The Bears took Lionel Antoine, who played seven seasons on the offensive line for the Bears. Hyland played for the Giants from 1971-75, but McRae only played eight games in New York before retiring.

*Note: Pro Football Reference trade history only dates back to 1994. This was the most recent trade we could find between the two teams.

Bears receive 2015 5th-round (No. 142 overall) pick in exchange for Brandon Marshall and 2015 7th-round (No. 224 overall) pick.

The Bears moved on from Marshall, signaling the beginning of their locker room culture change, and ended up with Adrian Amos.

Bears receive 2020 conditional draft pick (fifth or sixth round) in exchange for Jordan Howard.

After Matt Nagy’s first season as head coach it was clear Howard didn’t fit into his offense. The Bears flipped Howard for a pick.

Bears receive Jeff Graham in exchange for 1995 5th-round (No. 151 overall) pick.

Graham had two great seasons at wide receiver for the Bears, while the Steelers got eight years from their pick, safety Lee Flowers.

Bears receive 2017 1st-round (No. 2 overall) pick in exchange for 2017 1st-round (No. 3 overall), 3rd-round (No. 67 overall) and 2018 3rd-round (No. 70 overall) picks.

In Ryan Pace’s most infamous transaction, he moved up one spot to snag Mitchell Trubisky. And yes, we all know who was still on the board.

Bears receive 2016 2nd-round (No. 56 overall) and 4th-round (No. 124 overall) picks in exchange for 2016 2nd-round (No. 49 overall) pick.

The Bears moved down and got Cody Whitehair and Deon Bush, while the Seahawks nabbed Jarran Reed. Beneficial move for both teams.

Bears receive 2014 6th-round (No. 183 overall) pick in exchange for Gabe Carimi.

The Bears unloaded a former first-round bust and eventually drafted David Fales, who threw five career passes for the Bears. No harm, no foul, for both teams.

Bears receive Lemanski Hall in exchange for 2000 7th-round (No. 213 overall) pick.

This trade was made when the Titans were still the Houston Oilers. Lemanski played one season at linebacker in Chicago, while Green played three at fullback in Tennessee (the team had moved by the time he was drafted).

Bears receive 2011 2nd-round (No. 53 overall) pick in exchange for 2011 2nd-round (No. 62 overall) and 4th-round (No. 127 overall) picks.

The Bears moved up to draft Stephen Paea who ended up starting 40 games across four seasons in Chicago. The Redskins traded away both picks they received.
