Buffalo has competition in a possible trade for Cardinals left tackle L.J. Shelton. The Bears, attracted by acquiring a left tackle who makes $3 million a year, are willing to offer a draft choice to the Cardinals. The Bills are considering a Shelton-for-Travis Henry trade, and Cardinals coach Dennis Green has gone on record as saying he'd like to acquire draft choices. The only problem with the Bears is that they will be having trouble meeting Green's desire for a second-round choice. The Bears gave away their third-rounder in a trade last season, so they only have a first and a second in the first day of the draft. Because of that, it will be hard for them to give up the second. That keeps alive the possibility of Henry going for Shelton. If the Bears find a way to acquire Shelton, they can keep John Tait at right tackle and have a natural left tackle. Shelton and Tait are also friends and work out together during the offseason.
