Chicago Bears: 6 non-playoff quarterbacks to trade for

The Chicago Bears appear committed to Mitchell Trubisky. But, could they get some quarterback help from fellow non-playoff teams?

This coming weekend, the Chicago Bears and their fans once again get to watch playoff football without the navy and orange represented. What’s worse is the fact that we all get to see two NFC North rivals take the field in separate games, meaning both the Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers could meet in the Conference Championship.

That’s a gross thought, isn’t it?

What’s also pretty disgusting is the supposed commitment from Ryan Pace to quarterback Mitchell Trubisky going forward. Not only did Pace say Trubisky was “the guy” heading into 2020, but Brad Biggs of The Chicago Tribune said this week that he thought the team would pick up Trubisky’s fifth-year option as well.

That would mean Trubisky is also on board for 2021. Now, regardless of your thoughts on Trubisky and whether or not he should be the starter (or the future of the franchise), one cannot argue that the team shouldn’t bring in competition for the kid.

Let’s be honest. Chase Daniel is a backup quarterback. He was never brought in to push Trubisky in the slightest. Mitch has known that this is his job for over two seasons now. He has nobody lighting a fire beneath him or putting any kind of pressure on him.

The Bears could elect to draft a quarterback to come in and put a little pressure on Trubisky — and I think they should. But, they could also go out and sign a free agent to do the same.

Moreover, Pace could go out and make a move for a quarterback to compete. Who could be available via trade this offseason? Well, for starters, there are a lot of non-playoff teams that could be involved in that conversation. Let’s look at six quarterbacks the Bears could target via trade this spring.
