"Trubisky has zero interest to return to the Bears" report is not true.

If Trubisky comes back it will be at a contract they can end after a year. There will be nothing long term about it.

The Bears should only commit to a QB or a change if it is significantly better option.

Mitch will not be back. Nagy does not want him back and I doubt Mitch wants to be “coached up” but el visor again. Best to part ways for both sides

Unfortunately he may be the best FA we can get. For some reason I see him on the Pats though.

There is only one QB that may be available that I would break the bank for.....

The only QB we would probably be able to acquire trade wise would be Carr and although I like him it’s going to cost more than I think he’s worth.
No Watson, No Wilson, No Carr then it’s not worth mortgaging the future. I roll with Mitch and a rookie QB at this point.

The thing is though, Nagy has absolutely no leverage here. He is in his last year and there has been no talk of contract extension. Plus, the top 3 QB's are basically off the board:
  • Wentz is off the table (for honestly a pretty reasonable price)
  • Stafford is off the table
  • Watson is NOT coming to Chicago and people need to stop thinking otherwise. Accept it
So what is realistically left:
  • Jimmy G? - doubtful as SanFran will make 1 more run with him but will probably also draft a QB. Their issue this year was injuries
  • Cam - His career as a starter is over
  • Carr - Maybe, but doubtful he is traded because he is not the issue there in Oakland and Bears would be dumb to give up the capital required to get him (more than likely a Stafford like haul instead of Wentz)
  • Darnold - Maybe but A) What is it going to cost B) is he already broken a la David Carr and C) Do we actually trust Nagy to build him up if he isn't broken?
The facts are:
  • We are in borderline Cap Hell
  • We just got back our full compliment of draft picks for the first time in years
  • We have an aging, albeit, solid defense
  • We figured out the interior of the O-Line
  • We were 8-8 but actually very close to being 11-5
    • At a minimum, we should have beaten Detroit the second time, should have beat NO in the regular season not to mention a wide open TD drop that makes it a different playoff game, and we should have also beat MN in Game 1)
With all that being said, bringing Mitch back is not the worst idea, something along the lines of what Marriota got and you run it back 1 more year and use the draft to fill out with weapons and improve the O-Line. That is most likely the best case scenario. Anything else more than likely continues to set this franchise back.

The only QB that just might be available that could affect the trajectory of the franchise is Watson.

Unless you can get him, there is no reason to pay a ransom or major draft capital for anyone else....

I’d rather get Stevie Wonder as my Uber driver than watch another year of Trubisky.

I also like Carr as well and think we would have to give up more then he is probably worth as well but that actually might be for the best anyway. As long as its not to much where they can still address the OL then having a sold QB would solve a lot of problems.

But if we are going the draft option then no reason to bring back Mitch.. address the OL run Foles out there while you have the rookie sit and learn.

My favorite teams
  1. Chicago Cubs
  1. Chicago Bulls
  1. Chicago Bears
  1. Chicago Blackhawks
  1. Arkansas Razorbacks
So it's crazy to think we can't draft a qb or sign a kid as a free agent? Like any of these guys?
Felipe Franks
Brady White
Shane Buechel
Kellen Mond
KJ Costello

These guys all have been through coaching changes as well as changing programs. So if 2022 is the next chapter of starting over again, so be it.

Nagy has 2 years left on his contract. He signed a 5 year deal in 2018
We were 8-8 and more closer to 5-11 than 11-5.

Im sure he has some interest like "id rather re-sign with the Bears than leave the NFL", but I doubt both the Bears and Trubisky camp actively want the best option for both parties to be another year of Mitch in Chicago.
