Can we pretend this is the NBA (and he is already on our roster) and make this a "sign and trade"?
I refuse to believe the Bears' brass will look to Andy Dalton as the answer. I agree with others who have stated it - with Nick Foles already on the roster, this is redundant. Do we need an upgrade over Foles? Absolutely! Is it Dalton? Absolutely not.
I would honestly prefer Mitch.

This could only be a precursor to something else. They can't be signing Dalton as starter.
What does it tell you if a team desperate for a QB signs Dalton and a dfferent team that could have signed him gives something up for Foles instead?

This all should be obvious but I know people prefer to freak out.

I hope Dalton doesn't sign with the bears, but if he does, yes you'd think they'd move foles. But isn't foles a 3m cap hit to get rid of?

why be calm? The miracle move is still to come? How many weeks before you talk yourself into this one?

I'm hardly emotionally invested in the team. Simply entertainment.

My favorite teams
If Dalton is that bad he's not even insurance.

Didn't Pace and Nagy clearly state everything is on the table? So they will go through that priority list....of course Wilson and Watson are higher up on the list .... but it takes two to tango and getting Dalton does not mean they will stop looking to upgrade.... what a bunch of cry babies on this site
Being linked to Dalton, Wentz, Winston etc can actually help make the Texans or Seahawks escalate any trade plans if they want to trade their QB .... they don't want to be left with their QB who may not play with no market left and all the leverage with the buying team ....
If opening day comes around and all the Bears do is have Dalton and Foles on the roster, I will join all of you in criticizing them .... but until then hold off fellas.... lot of game still left to be played....

Sorry but even pace isn’t stupid enough to think he can bring Dalton in and hope to keep everyone happy. After all the talk of “major” change at QB, this would be the ultimate fail. He would not get another GM job anytime soon, and he knows that. Something is going to happen soon, I just hope it’s good for the franchise and the fans.

I didn't read thru all the pages but Jameis Winston and Fitzpatrick inked their new deals.
Bears choices are getting limited!

They have a handful of options left in FA. Then there’s trades and the draft. The problem is there is no easy, obvious solution.
Even if there were, the Bears would likely screw it up.
