Would QB Trey Lance make sense as a Bears backup?

Trey Lance looks on during the 49ers-Broncos game last week.

The Bears continue to bemoan their lack of production from second-string quarterback P.J. Walker — and the No. 3 overall pick from just two years ago is available.

The 49ers named Trey Lance their third-stringer this week, opening the door for them to trade the one-time North Dakota State star before Tuesday’s cut day.

Some have linked Lance to the Bears — Bookies.com ranks the Bears as the sixth-most likely team for him to land — but it doesn’t make sense for general manager Ryan Poles to make a move.
