Chicago Bears fans have grown increasingly impatient with Mitch Trubisky over the last few seasons and in 2019, he had Bears supporters seeing red. It was becoming clear that Trubisky was no longer the future of the franchise and in the offseason, the Bears traded for Nick Foles. Now, the Bears are making yet another decision in relation to Trubisky's future with the franchise.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Bears have declined the fifth-year option on Trubisky's deal which means he will only be under contract through the 2020 season. Once 2021 rolls around, Trubisky will become a free agent and can either be resigned or he could go somewhere else.
This creates an interesting situation for the Bears as Trubisky and Foles will be competing against each other. Of course, Foles is a Super Bowl-winner while Trubisky is still unproven. If he doesn't have a good training camp, Trubisky could be pushed to the bench for an entire season which would certainly hurt him once free agency starts.
If you're the Bears QB, this is a tricky situation and it is most certainly a wake-up call moving forward. Needless to say, NFL fans will be interested to see how it all plays out.
Mitch Trubisky Mercilessly Roasted By Chicago Restaurant
Mitch Trubisky can't seem to catch a break, even in the midst of a pandemic.
Mitch Trubisky is easily one of the most disrespected quarterbacks in the entire NFL. Over the last year, Trubisky has received criticism for his inaccurate passes that kept the Chicago Bears out of the postseason. Trubisky has proven himself to be competent when he wants to be but over the past season, fans have turned on him. In fact, the Bears recently traded for Nick Foles and are planning on making him the starter.
Now, a restaurant in Chicago is taking its own digs at the QB. Of course, we are in the midst of a pandemic and are being encouraged to practice social distancing. The restaurant decided to leave a note encouraging its patrons to maintain their distance and they did it in the most hilarious way possible: by comparing the distance between people to by how much Trubisky misses his receivers by.
“During this Coronavirus outbreak, remember to remain at least 10 feet away from others. If you’re wondering how far that is, picture a Bears wide receiver and then imagine where Trubisky threw the pass. That distance is about 10 feet," the note said.
This note immediately went viral on social media, as it should. Jokes at Trubisky's expense seem to do well on Twitter and this was no exception. If anything, it just goes to show how brutal Chicago sports fans can be.
Teddy Bridgewater In Talks To Replace Bears’ Mitch Trubisky
Fans in Chicago have been getting increasingly impatient with Mitch Trubisky.
NFL free agency is finally here which means he we have a whole slew of news to report. Some of the biggest stories will involve quarterbacks and as it turns out, the Chicago Bears could be big players which is something many fans probably weren't expecting. Of course, the last two seasons have seen Mitch Trubisky as their starting quarterback, to varying degrees of success. Fans have become impatient with the young QB and are hoping for better. As it turns out, help may actually be on the way, sooner rather than later.
According to Pro Football Talk, the Bears are trying to get a deal done with Teddy Bridgewater, formerly of the Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints. Bridgewater played great in replacement of Drew Brees and many feel like he should be a starter. This deal would theoretically turn Bridgewater into QB1 in Chicago.
Based on the reactions from Bears fans in the comments of the post above, it appears as though they are quite happy about this decision. While Bridgewater isn't elite by any stretch, he is certainly an improvement upon the inconsistent play they got this past season. As for Trubisky, it remains to be seen what his next move will be.
Stay tuned for more news related to NFL free agency.
Packers RB Gets Hacked & Tweets Outlandish Aaron Hernandez Remark
The tweets were quickly deleted.
Getting your Twitter account hacked is never a fun time. Typically, this happens when you use the same passwords for multiple accounts and don’t take care of your virtual footprint. Green Bay Packer star running back Aaron Jones learned this the hard way on Friday when his Twitter account was hacked and started tweeting some peculiar remarks. There were two tweets in particular although they were quickly deleted. Prior to the deletion, we were able to grab screenshots of what was said.
In the first screenshot, the hacker takes shots at Aaron Hernandez. The anonymous writer says Jones is going to miss the NFC Championship game due to a sexual act with Hernandez. Of course, when you consider Hernandez’s history, the tweet comes across as quite offensive and outlandish which is something fans caught onto right away.

In another tweet, the hacker joked about the best quarterbacks in the NFC North division and threw a pretty brutal shot at none other than Chicago Bears QB Mitch Trubisky. Trubisky has become an easy target this year so it’s not surprising to see him get hit with such petty slander.
Hopefully, Jones can get his situation figured out and this doesn’t become a huge problem going into the NFC Championship game on Sunday.
