If Mitch plays good it means he out performed Nick, Your stuck with Nick, and his contract, regardless of how MT plays, if you resign him etc. It also means Pace once again committed $$ to the QB position he didn't need to (aka the Glennon fiasco). Bears have only 25 players under contract next year, and at this point only 40 mil in cap space to fill out the roster. Mitch balling out means he will be seeking at least 20-25 mil a year. Mediocre Mitch,,,,,,maybe 12-18 mil.
To resign Mitch, after a good to great year not only means more restructures, but also most likely some cap casualties, like Akeem Hicks.
