Dang.  I am starting to think that you are behind this---just to keep certain huddlers off your case.

Seriously, they had this bullet in the chamber for a while.  It sure seems as if they decided to fire it now, which means ??

I wonder if they (Texans) had knowledge of this and threatened to release it if...

I have been in meetings all morning.  I need to catch up on my reading.

The Bears took this guy over Deshaun and Mahommes lol

It's easy to look back and laugh but everyone had Trubisky #1 that year

I'm not sure why folks were interested, he simply isn't good.

Really surprised he signed a pure backup deal this early in the process. I would've waited to see if someone's draft plans didn't workout or even for an injury in camp or preseason to open up an opportunity to compete for a starting role. In Buffalo, he's obviously purely a backup.

There's a good shot at a Ring with the Bills right now. Might be pretty nice.

Yeah, I'm sure a former #2 overall pick would be super proud of a ring won while riding the pine.

He wasn't getting one with the Bears any time soon. Some say back-up NFL QB is one of the best gigs on the planet.

Oh, I'd definitely take it for sure but if I was a former high 1st round pick I wouldn't exactly be strutting around pounding my chest about a Super Bowl "I won" as a backup.

Interested to see the financials on this, since I was assured he'd get a big deal.

Oh I would. The best defensive line to offer when mocked would me, "Okay, show more your ring."

And really, he's one injury away from starting QB of a really well-built team with good coaching and a lot of momentum in a weak, weak, weak division. All in all, not a bad roll of the dice for a guy who never should have been taken as a first rounder in the first place, much less at #2. Had he been a fourth rounder who started at the Bears, we'd have thought he did okay-ish.

Who envisioned Trubisky getting a big deal?

No doubt. Too soon to go this route. And if it’s as a backup, pick a team that doesn’t have a 4th year QB entering his prime. Take less and audition behind Big Ben or Fitz or anyone not a long term starter already.

I cannot recall who. Someone in here was trying to convince me he was gonna get a $8-10 mil/year deal or some such nonsense.
