Trade bait: Roster cuts from 80 to 75 are due Tuesday and teams are beginning to call around to see what might be available.
A league source said the Bears have informed other clubs that running back Garrett Wolfe and safety Al Afalava could be traded. That doesn't mean they will be or they're destined to be released, but the fishing line has been cast. Wolfe is in competition with Kahlil Bell for the third running back job.
Bell has been staying after practice to get extra special teams work in this week. The third running back must be a four-phase special teams contributor and Wolfe has been a good one.
"It's definitely a different type of challenge, trying to learn all the positions and do all four phases," Bell said. "I feel like I'm a football player and I can make the adjustment. I think I've stepped up to that challenge."
