TBD. He is an elite talent. If you whiff though.....OOF.

IMO, Chicago fans should want this. You have to figure it is either a HR deal or you get to finally fire your head coach. 

He was elite and looks ruined. Bad contract and living off of past realities. This is looking like a disaster in the making. It sucks but it looks like the buyer is going to be had in this trade.

If I had to guess I'd say the third team is the Niners 

The Colts have Frank Reich. The Bears have his former quarterback coach John DeFilippo.

The 49ers don't have anyone previously connected to him that I know of, but every quarterback wants to play in Kyle Shanahan's system.

He just looked broken to me last season. 

It has to be the Colts given the familiarity and Reich being there and all.  Wentz will know the offense and the coach knows how to use him. 

Sleeper/mystery team? The Patriots

Oooohhh, that would be interesting.

I had forgotten it, but the article mentions that the Bears also have one of his former coaches in John DeFilippo.

Better not be us

I rescind my Patriots guess after reading they're not involved (edit: but it can always be misinformation).

The only 2 other logical spots that I could actual see a team rolling the dice given their draft spot is the WFT & the Broncos.

Washington offered a first and a third for Stafford.

Even though I'm 100% Panthers, it would be nice to see the Bears with a good QB situation for once so I hope they avoid Wentz like the plague.

    • Adam Thielen had 1000 yards with rookie Bryce. I guess he's using that as comparison. Just kidding. Calm down. 
    • We definitely improved from 2024 to 2025, to me the results were less important than the roster in that regard. It's better. It's still a very bad roster but continuing to be better is the goal. The changes we are talking about at QB are about spending LESS resources. Not picking up Bryce's 5th is a big potential savings. Significantly better QB's have been had in recent years for half or less than what Bryce will get in 2026. To say nothing of an extension(the ridiculous subject of this thread) which would cripple roster building by saddling it with a bloated QB contract for an awful QB. The price for Bryce, I mean who is even making that argument anymore? I don't think you are seeing anyone in this thread discussing trading up to #1 for Mendoza.  We are talking about cheap backup and FA QB's and Day 2 and 3 draft guys. That is literally tied to the idea of roster building. IMPROVE at QB while you build the roster so that we can actually potentially attract a franchise QB or when you make that big move up(SF for Lance) that your roster is so good that the impact is largely negated.  After all, improving over Bryce is an extremely low bar to hit. Let's not assume that standing pat would have resulted in a sudden spurge in good decision making. Don't forget who was making all those roster calls at the time. Bryce or not, we would have fuged it up in some way because we had idiots at the helm. We may still yet. Also, it's easy to say we can't get in the habit of switching QB's like that but there are also plenty of situations where that flip was the correct decision. Richardson to Jones, Rosen to Murray, Fields to Williams, Lance to Purdy(technically some nuance to this), etc. There is no real danger of Bryce leaving and suddenly becoming an elite QB. We all do know this, no matter how big of a Bryce stan you may be. His ceiling is middling game manager. So there isn't some crazy risk of moving on.
    • Honestly. You can see it on the field. Bryce will literally skip a pass on the ground rather than throw a contested catch to XL. Especially when it's one where XL would have to fight back to the ball. Coker is actually really good at that. Coker lacks real NFL speed (not a small thing), but he maxes out in most other categories.
