Chicago Bears GM: Everything is on table with QB spot
LAKE FOREST, Ill. The Chicago Bears never-ending search for a franchise quarterback could have another chapter after general manager Ryan Pace declined to say that the team intends to re-sign 2017 second overall pick Mitchell Trubisky. As far as the plan at quarterback, to get to where we want to go, we definitely need more out of that position, Pace said Wednesday after he and coach Matt Nagy were given a vote of confidence. Everything is on the table.
Trubisky s future in Chicago has been tenuous ever since the Bears traded for veteran Nick Foles last April and declined Trubisky s fifth-year option a little over a month later.

Convenient, huh? “The reality is, if you break his tenure from 2015-17 and then 2018-20, there have been vast improvements in 2018-20,” he said. “And a lot of that has to do with the trust level that’s been built between [coach] Matt [Nagy] and Ryan, how they make decisions. “You can ask Ryan yourself if he has had learnings from his first three years to his last three. I think you’ll hear that he has. That’s what we heard. . . . When we’ve looked at that and we’ve looked at how the drafts have improved in the last three years versus the prior three years, we see lots of reasons for hope.”
