The Chicago Bears have found someone to challenge and/or replace Mitchell Trubisky.
Via multiple reports, the Bears have acquired quarterback Nick Foles from the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for Chicago’s compensatory pick in the fourth round, which is No. 140 overall.
Foles’ stay in Jacksonville was short: he signed a four-year, $88 million free-agent deal one year ago.
But he broke his collarbone in the first half of his first official game with the team and needed surgery; the Jaguars turned to then-rookie Gardner Minshew, and quickly showed that he was a capable starter.
With Foles now traded, Jacksonville is presumably handing the reins of the offense to Minshew.
It’s been long reported that the Bears were looking for a veteran to at minimum push Trubisky, the No. 2 pick in 2017 who has mostly been a disappointment to this point.
Chicago head coach Matt Nagy worked with Foles twice previously: he was an offensive assistant with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2012, and the Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator in 2016 when Foles was there.
