Chicago Bears: Only one team can turn Mitchell Trubisky around
The Chicago Bears might be looking for a trade partner for Mitchell Trubisky. There is one team that might be able to turn his career around.
The Chicago Bears might seriously be considering trading Mitchell Trubisky. They acquired Nick Foles in a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars so that makes things very interesting for Chicago. There are some people who still believe that Mitch will be QB1 on Opening Day but it is hard to see at this point. That would be a lot of money to be paying a guy who is just a lock to be the backup. Especially one they gave up something for besides money.
That could lead to them trading Trubisky and drafting someone else to be the backup. They should be doing everything they can to try and get a solid quarterback room so they can take advantage of this defense’s championship window. They are good enough to be helped along by a quarterback who is slightly above average. Foles has been that in clutch moments before.
So if the Bears are in fact going to trade Trubisky, where would be the best fit for him? There are some teams that might consider him for their backup role but one team, in particular, might be able to turn his career around. The New England Patriots were able to turn the 6th round, 199th overall, pick named Tom Brady into the greatest football player who ever lived. They might be able to get something out of a former second overall pick.
The Patriots, during the Tom Brady era, have been great at turning low stock players into stars that help them win Super Bowls. Well, now Tom Brady is gone. He is going to be a member of a team not called the New England Patriots for the first time in 20 years. It is certainly going to be strange but the Pats need a quarterback. They might be looking for a bandaid option until their permanent future piece comes along.

If the Bears traded Trubisky to New England, that should scare the rest of the league. That would mean that Bill Belichick sees something in the young quarterback. With that said, the Bears should try and get something for Mitch if another team is willing. It would be nice to see Mitch get a fresh start and there might not be a better place for that than Foxborough, Massachusetts.
