Chicago Bears: Why sticking with Trubisky is the right move

Salary cap issues

The Bears are already going to be tight on salary space in 2020.

The organization announced on Saturday that they reworked the terms of cornerback Kyle Fuller‘s contract in an effort to free up as much cap space as possible for next year.

Though terms of the deal haven’t yet been disclosed, it will certainly pay off for the team in some way.

According to NBC Sports, the Bears were expected to be in the bottom six of teams for salary space for next season.

With plenty of decisions left to be made, the team was estimated to have just $10.5 million in cap room for this year to work with.

That being said, the Bears would have to make some sacrifices if they want to bring in another quarterback to push or replace Trubisky.

Although veterans like Philip Rivers, Andy Dalton and Marcus Mariota will likely be available, the Bears won’t have much space to work with if they want to bring any of them on. It would likely require significant sacrifices to other positions, making it hard for the Bears to improve overall.

Given the struggles in just about every other aspect of the team, the Bears are better off sticking with Trubisky and focusing on the players around and in front of him.
