Robbie Gould wants out, are the Chicago Bears in?

The endless speculation about Robbie Gould only picked up smoke this afternoon

When Cody Parkey missed the game-winning field goal against the Philadelphia Eagles, everyone immediately called for Robbie Gould. Let go by Ryan Pace, Gould has become a curse to Chicago Bears kickers who stepped foot on Solider Field since.

Gould was expected to be a free agent in 2019, which caused a lot of commotion, and speculation that Chicago would be interested in a reunion. Of course, the 49ers had different plans, and use a franchise tag to state their claims.

A franchise tag is a one-year deal, and while it would be tough for Gould to find wiggle room, he apparently is looking to play every card he can to find a new home. Adam Schefter reported that Gould has withdrawn from long-term talks with the 49ers in hopes of trade.

Of course, Chicago Bears fan immediately began to scramble. It does not take much theorizing or a conspiracy plot to pin the two together. The Chicago Bears are desperate for a kicker. Robbie Gould has publicly stated that he would like to come back to Chicago, where his family has planted their flag.

He does not want to play for the 49ers anymore, which is not forcing his way back home to Chicago, but it certainly is helping with a push. Of course, the other 31 teams have a chance to trade for him.

The question from there comes, how much do you trade for an older kicker without a longterm deal and eyes on playing for one team? The Chicago Bears should have every chance to get this deal done.

Gould wants out, and the 49ers know it. Teams are not going to offer much, and the price should shrink with the market of teams. If the Bears are serious about winning they have to go trade for Robbie Gould.
