Nice:
Look away, Bears fans. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that the
Chicago Bears were competing for Jameis Winston’s services
before he agreed to return to the New Orleans Saints and compete
with Taysom Hill for the starting job following Drew Brees’
retirement; NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that the
contract contains just $5.5 million in guarantees, with
incentives raising its value to $12 million.
It makes sense. Chicago’s shot-callers are on the hot seat,
having wasted the second overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft on
Mitchell Trubisky, who may or may not re-sign with them upon
testing free agency. For now, Nick Foles is in the driver’s seat
to start at quarterback for embattled head coach Matt Nagy and
general manager Ryan Pace, though the Bears are turning over
every stone in search of an upgrade.
And Pace, the former Saints pro personnel executive, has a
history of targeting players after they’ve left New Orleans.
Just look at the list, which ranges from defensive linemen Akiem
Hicks and Mario Edwards Jr. to tight end Jimmy Graham and backup
quarterback Chase Daniels. Winston fits the trend.
But Chicago couldn’t seal the deal, and now Pace is back to
scouring the free agent market or maybe exploring trades.
Winston is in New Orleans for another year, primed for a
training camp battle with Hill to decide who takes over from
Brees. Unless they meet in the preseason or playoffs, though,
the Bears won’t get a look at the next Saints quarterback until
2022 at the soonest, and that’s only if both teams finish in the
same standings within their divisions in 2021. Bears fans should
be thankful for that considering their team hasn’t beaten New
Orleans since 2008.

Surely none of you really think that Pace is going into his
contract year with either Dalton or Foles as his
starter...really?

You're making a huge assumption they're smart enough not to....

I just saw it and shared it.
Dalton would be an upgrade from Foles, but that would be for the
backup QB role.

We know they need better options, but the bandwagon you are
climbing on will cost lots of draft picks which we cant afford.

I don't like Dalton and Foles hasn't proven anything yet so they
need to draft one IMO or sell the farm to get Watson and that's
what it'll take to get him....

I dont like either of those bandwagons, but if I had to select a
druther, I'd rather gamble on the younger of the two. His shelf
life is longer.

Somehow this might trickle back to Trubisky. Better than
Winston and Dalton...

I wouldnt blame Mitch if he never wanted to step foot in Halas
Hall again. That ship has sailed, thanks Nagy.
