The Chicago Bears aren’t betraying any details regarding what they plan to do at the quarterback position. Why would they? The less the media knows, the more advantage they have over other teams who also need a QB. There are any number of routes they could go. Of course there is the draft but also free agency and the trade market.

For the first time in what feels like awhile, there are considerable options from each of those avenues. It comes down to what GM Ryan Pace and head coach John Fox think is best. They have the resources to make something happen. Upwards of $51 million in salary cap space with the ability to create another $20 million easily if they wish. Also the highest draft position they’ve held since 1972 at the #3 overall pick.

If applied right they can set this team up for a big turnaround in 2017 and perhaps a long run of success in the future. It comes down to having a good plan and executing it. So how can they possibly play this? Recent signs offer a theory.
