Could the Chicago Bears be considering trading QB Mitch Trubisky?
Getty Mitchell Trubisky of the Chicago Bears exits the field after a game. It was one simple roster move. The Chicago Bears moved perennial practice squad quarterback Tyler Bray up to the 53-man roster the day before their Week 4 game against the Indianapolis Colts, and Bears Twitter lost its collective mind. The roster move, presumably a security measure now that Nick Foles has taken over at quarterback for Mitch Trubisky, sent fans and analysts alike into a frenzy wondering what it all meant. But first, some context: in the Matt Nagy era, the Bears have never really rolled with three quarterbacks on the roster. The norm for Nagy has always been just two, and Bray specifically has only been activated when Trubisky has been injured in the past. Considering that every team must also report any injuries to their players on their final injury reports, it’s highly unlikely the Bears are dealing with any surprise ailments where Trubisky or Foles are concerned. With more questions than answers swirling around, it didn’t take long for people to start posting their own theories, the most popular of which involved the Bears possibly trading Mitch Trubisky.

While a few fans wondered if Trubisky’s benching soured his attitude (that’s highly unlikely to those who have seen how classy he has been through it all), many others jumped to conclusions and assumed the Bears may be deliberately keeping Trubisky off the field for another reason: they want to keep him healthy because he’s a more valuable trade asset that way.
