Chicago Bears: Three roster player trades to make for Russell Wilson

The Chicago Bears need a quarterback. That has been a correct phrase for over 35 years as this team hasn’t had one worth much in a very long time. Well, Russell Wilson‘s name is out there in trade rumors and the Bears need to pounce on it. It would take a lot for him to come over but he listed the Bears as a team he would accept a trade to.

The Chicago Bears landing Russell Wilson would change the franchise forever.

It was a crazy day around Chicago when that news came out because we usually don’t hear the Bears in these types of rumors. They are usually the team that just lands a bottom-of-the-barrel type player. That still might happen this year but the Wilson stuff does feel a little bit different than in most years.

One thing that we do know is that it would change the future of the Bears for a long time. They have had incompetent play for so long but they would be replacing it with a superstar. Russell Wilson is a multi-time 4000-yard passer and the Bears have never had a single one in their 100-year history. He is on a Hall of Fame trajectory so you know that is simply different from what the Bears are used to.

Wilson is such a big star that he would impact the team with more than just football as well. The perception and marketability would change for a very long time. He would also help them with off-the-field things that need to be taken care of in this city as well. For a player like that, you risk it all. If the Bears wanted to include at least one prominent roster player in the deal, it might look like one of these trade packages (assume each team does what is needed to make the money work with the cap):
