The Chicago Bears appear to be going all in on their QB situation. As of right now they have Nick Foles as their starter, but as well all know, Nick Foles is the best backup money can buy, he’s not a guy you want as your starter. Now reports are suggesting the Bears are willing to risk it all for a chance at Russell Wilson and DeShaun Watson. CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora believes the Bears will be in the running for both Watson and Wilson this offseason and are willing to offer a “boatload” of picks in a trade package.
Via CBS:
“Well, sources said they are prepared to throw a boatload of picks at the Texans — for Deshaun Watson — and Seahawks — for Russell Wilson — in an attempt to upgrade at the most important position in all of professional sports. They are beyond serious and, as is generally the case when job security is at the fore, future picks in like 2023 don’t hold all that much value in real time. They don’t have the type of young, cheap talent that some other trade suitors do, but you can always keep throwing future top draft picks at the problem.
“There is a real sense of panic in that building,” as one NFL executive put it. “Don’t underestimate how desperate they are.””

Knowing the Bears track record with QB’s, they won’t be able to land either of these fantasy studs.
But hey, you never know what can happen when you offer enough first round picks.
