In the mad rush through the long list of possibilities, Chicago Bears fans haven’t stopped to consider the quarterback question from the “glass half empty” point of view. What happens if they don’t end up getting their guy? Or their backup guy? It’s not a totally unreasonable question to ask considering the depth of competition they’re facing in the QB market this offseason.
No fewer than four other teams besides the Bears are considered to have pressing needs at that position. They include the Browns, 49ers, Jets and Texans. That’s not even considering the fringe threats like the Chargers, Bills, Cardinals and Chiefs too. In other words Chicago will need a good deal of luck to get who they want, and a serious backup plan in case they don’t.
At least one prominent NFL insider believes there is one name they’re keeping an eye on.
