To say the Bears underwent a facelift at the quarterback position this offseason would be an understatement.
Gone was Mitchell Trubisky, who ended up signing a deal with the Bills. Long-time third-stringer Tyler Bray remains unsigned. Chicago’s first big move at quarterback was the signing of Andy Dalton to a one-year, $10 million contract near the start of free agency. The two-time Pro Bowler figured to compete with 2020 carry-over Nick Foles for the starting quarterback role, barring a big move in the 2021 NFL Draft.
However, the Bears would end up doing exactly that.
