Given Nick Foles‘ historic Super Bowl run in 2017 with the Philadelphia Eagles, much of the Chicago Bears media and fanbase seem to believe that he will be the starting quarterback in the upcoming season.
Foles was acquired last month in exchange for a compensatory fourth-round draft pick. His contract details surfaced not long after the trade became official. If he meets unknown performance standards, Foles can opt-out of his contract after this season, giving him the chance to garner a more lucrative contract in free agency.
The pressure is officially on Mitchell Trubisky, who was selected second overall in the 2017 NFL Draft.
