While the Bears promised Andy Dalton Initial concert, they are still on the market for a novice quarterback. Tony Pauline of the Pro Football Network (on Twitter) reports that Chicago is trying to go into the project in search of one of the best quarterback potentials.
“One of the teams that I am told is a realistic way to trade is Chicago Bears, who want to trade to get a QB “ Pauline said during a recent episode of her podcast.
Pauline specifically points to Cowboys in 10th place as a potential trading partner, which would (probably) take Chicago off. Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, and at least one of Justin Fields, Mac Jones, and Trey Lance. The bears are currently armed with choice no. 20 in the first round, along with a choice in the second and third rounds.
While the Bears can be placed above their depth chart with Dalton and Nick Foles, there were continuous whispers that he could look at the project (including the first round) for another defender. Trainer Matta Big he even seemed to acknowledge that the organization watched a handful of QB beginners during a recent meeting with reporters.
“As everyone knows, I have been in a few professional days with some of these defenders and they certainly help, but there are only so many that you can do and see. What is correct is that every other team does the same thing. Ryan and I are very excited to go through this evaluation process together and how we do it. It is a challenge, but we look forward to it. There are a lot of good defenders in this draft class.”
