Bears QB Mitch Trubisky could end up like Kyle Fuller — or Kevin White

Mitch Trubisky can be either Kevin White or Kyle Fuller.

Now that the Bears have done the expected and declined the quarterback’s fifth-year option for 2021, the former No. 2 overall pick is on the clock.

He has a year to fight for his place with the organization.

That starts with winning the starting job. The Bears say he’ll take the first snap of the first practice — whenever that may be — but their offseason moves showed how little faith they have in him. They traded a fourth-round pick for Nick Foles, giving him at least $21 million over three years, because they think he’ll be needed.
