Mitch Trubisky states that he has no plans to hold out and wants to be in training camp when it opens.
If any Chicago Bears’ fans are worried that Mitch Trubisky is going to hold out, the rookie quarterback wants you to know- fret not. Trubisky was speaking at Wheaton Warrenville South High School in suburban Chicago and the topic of his contract came up.
According to the Chicago Sun Times, Trubisky had this to say:
"I’m not going to miss any practices or anything like that. I’m excited to sign my contract as soon as possible, however that goes down. But I don’t see that being held out through training camp; even if it did, I’m going to be practicing and all that. I’m looking forward to getting it done as soon as possible. I’m a Chicago Bear, no matter if they let me sign or what. I guess not, but I am."

Trubisky continued to say that his agents have a great relationship with the Bears front office and they tell him things are in good shape and that he shouldn’t worry.
If Trubisky is this open about his contract and isn’t concerned, there’s no reason to think that any fans should be concerned either. Trubisky wants to be at practice and wants to be getting better. You wouldn’t think any different after hearing the kid talk the first couple months of his Chicago Bears career.
Whether you questioned the draft pick of Trubisky or not, and even coming off a 3-13 season, this is an exciting time to be a Bears fan. Having a young quarterback like this and see how he develops is going to be fun to watch. Sure, it may not turn out, which means the Bears will be in the doldrums for a few more years, but if he is the future, the season can’t start soon enough.
Should anyone worry Trubisky’s career won’t start on time because of the contract? Just ask the quarterback.
“There’s nothing to worry about. It’s going to get done.”
