NFL Rumors: Bears Offered Three First-Round Picks in Potential Russell Wilson Trade

The Bears signed quarterback Andy Dalton to a one-year deal on Tuesday, but apparently not before a serious push to acquire Seahawks star Russell Wilson.

Chicago offered a trio of first-round picks for Wilson, according to Dan Patrick. A pair of Bears starters and a third-round pick would have also went to Seattle in a potential deal.

"The Bears were all-in. They tried, they made an offer," Patrick said on Wednesday. "The Bears offered three first-round picks, a third-round pick and two starters."

Patrick added that he didn't know the names of the two starters involved in the trade offer.
