1 on depth chart Rookie Justin Fields, though, remains at the top of the Bears’ depth chart whenever he’s healthy, coach. On the bright side - because lord knows we need it - this is also a move that seems to indicate that Chicago will be making a push for a young quarterback in the NFL draft next month. Bears QB Andy Dalton to start Thursday, but Justin Fields still No. But to be fair, that was always a long shot, even as Bears fans basked in the very idea of a franchise quarterback in Chicago.īut it seems like general manager Ryan Pace’s quarterback woes are finally catching up with him - and during a season where he can’t afford another mediocre offensive showing. Sure, they threw everything they had at the Seattle Seahawks when it came to attempting to trade for Russell Wilson. Two years in a row, they’ve settled for a veteran quarterback that doesn’t make this team better. This is a franchise that remains content with mediocrity. Not that it helps matters much, as far as Bears fans are concerned.
Just two days after reiterating that Andy Dalton was his starter when healthy, head coach Matt Nagy turned the tables. Prior relationship with Bill Lazor helped, too. It is officially a new era for the Chicago Bears.

Why sign a quarterback you could’ve had last season? Why sign him to a salary that’s not exactly team-friendly? Why bring in another aging veteran that’s in the downside of his career?Īccording to ESPN’s Jeff Dickerson, the Bears were “drawn” to Dalton’s experience, leadership, accuracy, durability and decision making. Chicago agreed to terms with veteran Andy Dalton on a one-year deal worth $10 million with an added $3 million in incentives.

The Bears finally made a move in free agency at quarterback, but it wasn’t the move that everyone was expecting. Death, taxes and the Chicago Bears managing to make their quarterback situation worse.
