The Sun-Times’ Patrick Finley answers the Bears’ most pressing questions in the first week of their 2020 offseason:
Who should be starting at quarterback in Week 1? Who will be?
Mitch Trubisky is the favorite to start in Week 1. Who should? Teddy Bridgewater will be too expensive, Cam Newton’s shoulder scares me and Nick Foles is comically overpaid. General manager Ryan Pace will spend the next two months exploring the trade and free-agent markets looking for, at least, a No. 2 quarterback. Maybe a starter becomes unexpectedly available. If not, Pace should try to reunite Alex Smith with friend Matt Nagy — provided the former is recovered from his gruesome leg injury — and allow him a fair competition with Trubisky during training camp.
