The Chicago Bears did a “very aggressive pursuit” of Wilson, sources said on the channel, but were rejected. For their part, the Bears reportedly agreed to a deal with free agent Andy Dalton, who may be part of the team’s quarterback competition after starting several games for the Dallas Cowboys last season.
Dalton recorded 2,170 yards and 14 touchdown passes in his only season with the Cowboys. He was chosen as a starter after Dak Prescott suffered an injury and was lost to the season. He could be part of an open competition as a Bears defender during the 2021 season.

The New York Daily News reported on Tuesday that the Jets could be the key to a possible deal for Wilson. The Seahawks are reportedly interested in the Jets’ Sam Darnold and a three-team switch involving the Bears could be the key to Wilson leaving Seattle.
