Chicago Bears: Where Mitch Trubisky could end up after 2020
By Ryan Fedrau
It seems like Mitchell Trubisky could be on his way out of Chicago, as the Chicago Bears haven’t made an aggressive move to keep him here for the long-term. Here are three teams Trubisky could end up with after 2020.
New England Patriots
If there’s anyone who can get the most out of Mitch Trubisky, it’s Bill Belichick. If Trubisky hits the open market after this upcoming season, the New England Patriots might take a look at the Chicago Bears‘ quarterback. If Jarrett Stidham doesn’t work out, why not take a look at Trubisky?
The pros of taking Trubisky are that there’s low-risk and his price tag is cheap. If he doesn’t beat Nick Foles for the starting role in Chicago, he won’t be expensive on the market. Belichick isn’t one to overpay for a player, even Tom Brady.
New England is perfect for Trubisky. He gets to learn the “Patriot way” and he gets to work with Josh McDaniels. McDaniels has helped land, multiple quarterbacks, a job after backing up for Brady.
If it wasn’t for McDaniels, Matt Cassel wouldn’t have been paid big money to go to Kansas City after replacing an injured Brady Week 1. Cassel threw 21 touchdowns with just 11 interceptions en route to an 11-5 season.
More examples of McDaniels’ success comes with Jimmy Garoppolo. Garoppolo and Trubisky are very similar quarterbacks. They’re both athletic guys who have the same abilities. The NFL has just seen more success out of Garoppolo than Trubisky.
This is something I could see happening in 2021. If Trubisky is going to revive his career anywhere else than Chicago, it’ll be in New England with the Patriots.
