Chicago Bears trade rumors: Willie Young requested trade; Lamarr Houston may also

Two Chicago Bears defensive linemen could get moved ahead of the 4pm ET deadline.

Up until defensive coordinator Vic Fangio came to down, the Chicago Bears had never run a 3-4 base defense in the history of their franchise. And when Fangio arrived this past off-season, the roster was full of 4-3 guys. That left the Bears in a bit of a pickle, but that's where general manager Ryan Pace comes in.

While Fangio has done a good job of implementing his schematic changes, the Bears have been struggling all season to really get this 3-4 defense to bloom.
