Getting the quarterback situation figured out should be the top priority for Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Pace.
But, at what expense?
The Bears certainly have options. Currently, there are several names involved in whispers and rumors including Russell Wilson, Deshaun Watson, among others. But, would Pace be willing to sell the farm for a Wilson or Watson?
He should, but he may not.
Just a couple of days ago, we heard from Pace when he spoke to the media. Many times, he told us that “everything is on the table.” If that’s true, we really have no idea what to expect from him and the Bears over the next month and a half.
One idea tossed around on social media lately is for the Bears to take advantage of the New York Jets’ willingness to listen to offers for fourth-year quarterback Sam Darnold. But, this particular idea seems a bit far-fetched.

Darnold for Allen Robinson would be quite the polarizing deal if it were to go down.
We know the Bears need a quarterback, and the Jets need a true number one receiver. But, would the Bears sacrifice Robinson for an unknown commodity? That’s the question.
If the Bears and Jets were to enter discussions involving either player though, there’s potential to get a deal done.
Let’s look at a few particular trades involving Darnold or Robinson, and in some instances, both.
