Bears general manager Ryan Pace said on Tuesday that “it’s all at the table” while the team looks for a full-back and Matt Nagy spent some time at the end of the day sharing what he is looking for for the position.
Like Pace, Nagy did not dismiss the notion that Nick Foles could start or that Mitchell Trubisky could sign again with the team. These options would hardly create many smiles for the team’s fans and, based on recent plays, they would not seem to fit the two most important criteria that Nagy wants from a player.
“Leadership, decision making and if you have any versatility as a defender with your legs, great,” said Nagy, through the Arlington Daily Herald. “If you don’t, there is no problem. We can work around this. “
Alex Smith’s name came up with the Bears due to his previous association with Nagy in Kansas City. Mobility is not his strong point, but Nagy mentioned him as a strong example of the kind of leadership he seeks as a defender.
