Former Pro Bowl Quarterback is Perfect for the Chicago Bears
The Chicago Bears, with Justin Fields at the helm, have confidently positioned themselves at the quarterback spot. However, the importance of a steadfast second-in-command cannot be understated - a reality the Bears are actively addressing.
In a recent discussion, Maurice Moton from Bleacher Report pointed to the Windy City as an ideal landing spot for the seasoned Carson Wentz, who's coming off a stint with the Washington Commanders.
Wentz, a former Pro Bowler and second-team All-Pro recipient in 2017, has had an intriguing career trajectory. He kickstarted his NFL journey with the Philadelphia Eagles, where he notably finished third in MVP voting the same year the Eagles clinched a Super Bowl victory. This was followed by a brief tenure with the Indianapolis Colts before his move to Washington.
Moton advocates for the Bears-Wentz alliance, underscoring the QB's qualifications that arguably make him the most enticing backup option in the league right now.
Possessing the agility to navigate the pocket and the arm strength to deliver the ball downfield in the gusty Chicago weather towards the season's tail-end, Wentz emerges as a compelling fit for the Bears. He's the precise insurance policy the Bears need in the event of an unexpected Fields hiccup or underperformance.
As of Saturday, May 13, the understudies to Fields are P.J. Walker and Nathan Peterman. Both have tasted the starting role in the NFL, but their experiences and successes have been modest at best. Fortunately, with a considerable $35.7 million cushion in salary cap space, the Bears have the financial flexibility to bolster their roster, thereby fortifying their rising squad in case Fields encounters a setback or grapples with his progression in his third professional season.
