The Chicago Bears proclaimed Andy Dalton their "QB1" in a tweet in March when the veteran signed a one-year deal with the squad.
Despite their decision to trade up and draft Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields at No. 11 overall, that is reportedly still the plan in Chicago.
In an appearance on SportsCenter on Sunday, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported that the Bears "want to take this slowly" and "feel that just stable, veteran quarterback play can get them over the hump and back into the playoffs" after two consecutive 8-8 campaigns.
