Unsourced stories and rumors piling up out of Philadelphia keep suggesting Carson Wentz would rather go to the Indianapolis Colts than the Bears in a trade.
These all stemmed from Chris Simms comment that he had been told by someone close to Wentz that Indianapolis would be the quarterback s preference.
Another sketchy report from Eytan Shander of the Philly Voice on Tuesday suggests the Bears are either out or pulling out of the Wentz sweepstakes. So apparently Wentz will be elated.
Trades don t always send quarterbacks or any other player to their preference.
Sports Illustrated s Albert Breer labeled the Bears the favorites on Tuesday while doing the podcast on The Herd with Colin Cowherd.

It all started with a tweet. What happened next was a chain reaction that put Cy-Bear fans in a nuclear meltdown.
It appeared former Cyclone standout, David Montgomery, was on the move at the mercy of the Bears’ endless search of a half-decent quarterback. I was able to sit down with our resident Bears fans at Wide Right & Natty Lite, and pick their brains on the Bears trading their best asset for a True Value Taysom Hill.
Dylan: Where were you when you first heard about Montgomery’s tweet, and what was your initial reaction?
Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images The most famous quote ever uttered about NFL ineptitude came out of the mouth of the Buccaneers’ first coach, John McKay. Asked about his team’s execution, he famously said, “I’m in favor of it.” It took the team almost two full years to win its first game. When the Bucs beat the Saints in 1977 to snap an 0-26 franchise start, McKay was ready with another quip. “Three or four plane crashes,” he said, “and we’re in the playoffs.” The Bucs began their existence as the NFL’s laughingstock. They spent the next four decades living down to their reputation, save for a span from 1997 to 2002, when they went to the playoffs five times and won one Super Bowl. Their .393 all-time winning percentage is still the worst in the NFL.
