The Chicago Bears have a quarterback problem. Rinse. Repeat.
It’ll be another offseason focused on the guy behind center, and for a Bears team that’s just about maxed out against the salary cap and in possession of a first-round pick — No. 20 overall — that rarely produces a high-end quarterback, the options to fix the game’s most important position appear limited.
Still, there will be some options, including free agents on the open market this March.
Here is the list of the top quarterbacks who are scheduled to become free agents. Remember: some of these guys will be franchised or signed to a long-term deal before the free-agency bell goes off, so don’t get your hopes up.
Tier 1:
Dak Prescott, Cowboys
Note: Don’t expect Prescott to hit the open market. He’s going to get paid by Dallas. If the Cowboys are silly enough to let him walk, the Bears should pounce.
