The entirety of Chicago Bears nation felt their hearts stop a couple days ago. That came when word began to filter out that something strange was happening. Apparently running back Jordan Howard had removed all Bears-related pictures on his Instagram. This rose fears because people knew from weeks back that the 23-year old had been attached to heavy trade rumors. Could Chicago still be trying to deal him?
Certain fringe outlets were hinting that a trade could be close. However, notable insiders like Ian Rapoport, Benjamin Allbright, and Brad Biggs all reported the same thing. They were hearing absolutely nothing on Howard. Now that could mean the Bears were just doing a good job keeping a lid on it or more likely the rumors was a lot of smoke with no fire.
Some fears were quelled, but not all. In the end, only the man Howard himself could help the people rest easy. Sure enough not too long after? He did just that.
Jordan Howard Bears photos have reappeared on Instagram
Whatever reason Howard had for removing those Bears pictures in the first place seems to no longer apply. A new inspection of his Instagram reveals that they have since all returned, decking out the entire top of his page.

Welp. There it is. Impossible to argue. The last string of hope the rumor engineers had to keep fanning the flames is gone. This is not to say Howard isn’t still a trade candidate but the odds continue to grow further and further against that happening. He’s considered one of the best players on the team and an emerging leader. It was always hard to imagine that new head coach Matt Nagy couldn’t find a way to use him despite not being the perfect scheme fit.
If things stay this way through the draft, people can rest assured Howard is staying a Bear.
