The Bears have interest in signing Andy Dalton, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune (on Twitter). Dalton, who will turn 34 in October, started nine games for the Cowboys last year.
Dalton wasn’t great in his fill-in starts for Dak Prescott, but the Bears are exploring every option possible. As it stands, veteran Nick Foles projects to serve as their starter and Mitch Trubisky probably won’t be back as their safety net.
“Everything is on the table in regard to the quarterback situation,” GM Ryan Pace said recently. “And, honestly, that includes players on our current roster, that includes free agency, trade, the draft and a combination of all those. We have a plan in place, and now it’s about executing that plan.”
Around this time last year, Dalton said that he wanted to start in 2021. There’s a non-trivial chance that the Bears could give him that opportunity, though they’d much prefer to have the ex-Bengals QB as the backup to someone else.
This is a mistake.
So the Bears have shifted their interest from Wilson to Dalton. I suppose they will be targeting Bobby Douglass by the time this comical drama plays itself out.
Being a Packer fan, I’m loving this LOL
As a Lions fan, I love this too.
If you are going to troll, could you at least come into this century for your references? No one under 40 knows who Bobby Douglass is.
Thinking the same thing!
Are they more familiar with the Erik Kramer years? I wish I wasn’t…
Too f***in’ bad! Look him up!
And I doubt anyone under 50 knew who Bobby Douglass was without asking an older relative.
If you have to look up a joke to understand it . . .
Nothing wrong with a little self-education, no matter what your age or what the context.
Blast from the PAST!
Pace might as well start sending out his resumé if he rolls out Foles or Dalton week one.
Quite simply, no.
They have a plan, but everything is on the table? What the hell kind of plan is that?
It’s basically the same plan the kindergarten class has when they sit around their Fisher-Price table.
Fire everyone right now if we think this is “getting the quarterback right.”
Pace wants to get fired immediately. I can’t say I’m surprised to be seeing such news though. It’s laughable at this point. Foles and dalton, eh? Guess we could have the mike Glennon, Mark Sanchez and trubisky QB room again.
That’d be quite the combo: The Red Rifle and Big Dick Nick lol
as a Cowboys fan I think Dalton is a quality QB. Give him an offensive line and he can be successful.
I have been a bears fan all my life. Some of the best RB and LB in NFL history, but the QB position….wow. Now I just read the Lions cut Chase Daniels and I can’t help but think……these guys might put him on a list too!
Niether fits what Nagy do maybe Laser can save Pace more a Daulton type coach if he gets a line to save his A**
I read this and head to check the date see if it was April 1…..

What is that plan called, cluster**** of madness?
If Pace and Nagy intend on keeping their jobs past this year, there’s absolutely no chance they go into the season with Andy Dalton or Nick Foles starting at QB.
They are better off with Trubisky again if this is the master plan?
