Bears general manager Ryan Pace lies this time of year.
“It’s a difficult time to talk about a lot of things,” he said at last year’s NFL Scouting Combine.
With the combine canceled this year, Pace’s regular news conference has moved from an Indianapolis hotel hallway to a Zoom call Tuesday. His incentive to give any insight into the Bears’ plans remains the same: zilch.
His inclination to talk about the one topic that has gripped Bears fans is even smaller — mentioning Deshaun Watson or Russell Wilson would, given the quarterbacks’ reported dissatisfaction with their teams, violate the NFL’s anti-tampering policy.
