Albert Breer of SI is reporting that the Bears are offering a first round pick for Carson Wentz and that they might get him, not Indy.
That would be bad news for Wentz.
The Bears are awful at evaluating QBs. A certain football team on the South shore of Lake Erie traded Paul Warfield for Mike Phipps. Phipps was horrible in Cleveland and was outplayed by Brian Sipe. Bad trade, right?
WRONG!
Enter the Bears. They traded a fourth and a first for Phipps, who generally sucked in Chicago although he did lead them to the playoffs one year. That first round pick became Ozzie Newsome.
Trust the Bears to bail your team out of a crappy QB decision.
Trading for Wentz makes about as much sense as trading for Phipps, but the Bears lack sense so it might happen. If so, Wentz is likely to enjoy being QB for the Bears about as much as the other bums who took snaps in Chicago after Sid Luckman. (McMahon was good when healthy, which was not often).
