Trubisky rumors

Yeah, I would call any of that "rumors".

Trubisky is definitely better than Teddy, but when you combine his contract with Teddy's dead money you'd essentially be paying elite QB money for Mitch Trubisky. I'll pass on that.

For the record, after we signed Teddy and the Bears signed Foles, I said we should've just tried to swing a trade for Trubisky if we were definitely moving on from Cam. Trubisky has upside. Teddy didn't. I'm genuinely curious to see what Trubisky can do away from Nagy. I'm about convinced that Nagy is another Gase. Foles looked absolutely dreadful under his tutelage too. I just don't think we're in a great situation to be the team that rolls those dice due to having to eat Teddy's contract. We rolled our dice on a bridge QB and it came up snake eyes.

There's a tweet from the NFL Rumors and Updates account that says the Steelers and Panthers are interested in Trubisky. That site I don't take seriously.

Josh Klein I take seriously.

The only way I would be onboard with rolling the dice on a Trubisky rehab effort is if we feel certain we can unload Teddy's contract via trade so that he would "only" hit us for $10M this year.

It's not exactly high on my list of "things I want to see" either.

I acknowledge it's a possibility though.

    • It will be really interesting to see how both sides handle this. I'm sure the team would love to get him signed to a 4 year deal based on his output so far and some potential factored in, i.e. something like a 4 year $30 million contract.  But I could see his agent telling him the best path is to take the one year offer, put up a big year next year and then really cash in. The team also has to keep in mind T-Mac's 2nd contract, which likely will happen after the 2027 season assuming he keeps improving as expected.  Even if we could get him on a budget 4 year deal for what he could become, the problem then becomes when he wants to re-negotiate in 2 years during the same summer we will extend T-Mac, and you don't want to spend that much on WRs in one offseason, just see the Bengals this last year. Taking everything into consideration, I'm thinking the 1 year deal and then getting him to sign a 4-5 year deal after hopefully say a 800ish yard season next year might be best for our cap situation and separate his and T-Mac's negotiation periods.
    • And yet jax made it no further than we did, and its very possible the Pats don't either. I think it speaks more to the overall down year for the nfl as far as having great/dominant teams, every team this year has fatal flaws that can be exploited 
    • Ehhh I agree the nfc is stronger this year but their really werent any truly dominant teams this year everyone is flawed, I think the narrative for the NFL this year will to try ahd force a Josh Allen SB win
