Chicago sent defensive back Deiondre' Hall to Philadelphia on September 1, 2018 for a conditional 2019 seventh-round pick. The condition was satisfied and the selection became No. 222 overall, which Chicago used on running back Kerrith Whyte. Whyte did not appear in a regular-season game for the Bears before being waived in September 2019, so the pick produced little direct return for Chicago.

Trade Analysis
The Exchange
Philadelphia acquired defensive back Deiondre' Hall from Chicago on September 1, 2018 for a conditional seventh-round choice in the 2019 draft. The condition was met, and the pick became No. 222 overall. Chicago used that selection on running back Kerrith Whyte.
Hall in Philadelphia
Hall gave the Eagles one season of depth. NFL records show he appeared in 13 games during 2018 without making a start. His role was primarily on special teams and in reserve defensive-back packages. That is modest production, but it is real active-roster value from a seventh-round cost.
Chicago's Pick
The Bears received the future selection and used it on Whyte. Chicago's own transaction history shows the club waived Whyte in September 2019, before he recorded a regular-season appearance for the Bears. He later played elsewhere, but that later production does not belong to Chicago's side of this trade. The Bears therefore realized little direct on-field return from the pick.
Comparing the Returns
Neither side found a major contributor. Chicago did well to obtain a draft choice for a player it was prepared to move, while Philadelphia received only one season from Hall. The difference is that Hall actually appeared in 13 games for the Eagles, whereas the player selected with Chicago's pick never appeared in a Bears regular-season game.
Final Verdict
Philadelphia Eagles Win. Philadelphia earns a C-plus for obtaining a usable season of depth at a minimal price. Chicago receives a C because turning Hall into a seventh-round pick was sensible process, but the resulting selection created no regular-season Bears value. The margin is small, yet Philadelphia realized more from the exchange.
Deiondre' Hall gave Philadelphia thirteen games of defensive-back depth and special-teams work, while Chicago's resulting seventh-round selection became Kerrith Whyte, who never appeared in a regular-season game for the Bears.
