Bears general manager Ryan Pace left no stone unturned in identifying his starting quarterback.
Pace does not rule out anything today, including Nick Foles or Mitchell Trubisky as a center in 2021, acquiring a starting quarterback in a blockbuster trade, signing a quarterback in a free agency or recruiting a quarterback in the first round.
“Everything is at stake with regard to the defender’s situation. This includes players on our list, players in free agency, commerce, the draft or a combination of them all, ”said Pace. “We have a plan in place and now it’s about executing it.”
The Bears were one of four teams identified by Russell Wilson’s agent as a potential destination if the Seahawks negotiated it, and the Bears are also interested in a successful business for Deshaun Watson. These are the defenders who would create real excitement in Chicago, but based on Pace’s comments today, the Bears’ full-back could be anyone.
