Chicago Bears: Russell Wilson’s list now down to three teams
The Chicago Bears have been in the Russell Wilson rumor mill for a few weeks now. We don’t know for sure if the Seattle Seahawks are actually going to trade him but it would be nice to see the Bears finally get that franchise guy after 100 years of having the wrong guy. The impact that this guy would have on this city both on and off the field would be as big as any athlete ever. The Bears were on his list of four teams that he would go to if he had to leave the Seahawks.
The Chicago Bears road to Wilson might have just gotten a little easier this week.
The future Hall of Fame Seahawks quarterback named the Chicago Bears as a team he would go to in addition to the New Orleans Saints, Las Vegas Raiders, and Dallas Cowboys. Well, the Cowboys are officially out of that sweepstakes as they finally inked Dak Prescott to a new deal. It is a long complicated deal that is going to make him a very well-paid quarterback. Adam Schefter has all of the details of the deal on his Twitter.
We wondered if that deal was ever going to happen. It has been a topic of conversation in the football world for over a year now. It would have made a lot of sense to trade Prescott and then go trade for Wilson. Instead, they signed him and pretty much took their name out of the hat.
As for the other three teams, the Saints feel like the most likely (besides the Seahawks). Drew Brees hasn’t announced his retirement yet but it sounds like it could be the case. They have Taysom Hill there and could be bringing back Jameis Winston but Wilson would be a great fit if they really wanted to go in that direction.
The Raiders have Derek Carr there ready to go in 2021. He isn’t a superstar or anything like that but you can win with a quarterback like him. If the Raiders keep him, that pretty much leaves the Bears. There are rumors that the Bears are actually pursuing this and see it as one of their main priorities.
