As the Bears prepare their next quarterback of the future for his first NFL preseason, the last one tried to explain what went wrong.
Speaking to Bills reporters Tuesday in Orchard Park, N.Y., quarterback Mitch Trubisky was peppered with questions about why his Bears stint ended the way it did — in disappointing fashion only four years after the team made him the No. 2 overall pick.
Trubisky said he could sense the Bears losing interest in him before deciding not to pick up his fifth-year option in May 2020.
“I kind of saw it coming, just the way I was progressing,” he said.
