By RILEY GATES
The Chicago Bears got in on the quarterback carousel this NFL offseason when they signed former Dallas Cowboys backup quarterback Andy Dalton to a one-year deal worth $10 million to replace Mitch Trubisky and Nick Foles as the starting quarterback. But according to CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin, signing Dalton was the worst signing of the NFL offseason.
“This has nothing to do with the money and everything to do with the implications,” Benjamin wrote. “Dalton’s $10M salary basically makes him a really highly paid backup, but he’s apparently already been told he’ll start in 2021, which ... yikes. Is he an upgrade over Nick Foles? Maybe. But even Mitchell Trubisky would’ve offered more upside, for crying out loud. Unless Chicago pairs this with a surprise trade (Sam Darnold?) or early-draft QB addition, it’ll likely cement the Bears in another year of fringe contention.”
