Chicago Bears fans have been amused by the idea that the franchise acquired star quarterback Russell Wilson, even if it’s not likely to happen.
Wilson has not requested any exchanges with the Seattle Seahawks, but there have been some tensions between the two sides. The Seahawks remain adamant that Wilson will be part of their plans in 2021, but anything can happen in low season.
There are four teams on Wilson’s radar: Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints, Las Vegas Raiders and Bears. And while Chicago may not be the most appealing destination, given the uncertain future of Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy, it seems Wilson would love to turn around a historic franchise like the Bears.
Someone who thinks Chicago would be a good choice for Wilson is former Bears receiver Brandon Marshall, someone close to the star quarterback.
“This is a guy who wants to win; I’ve never been around a better competitor. He wants to win and win in style. The Chicago Bears allow you to do that, ”said Marshall The first is the first, via NBC Sports Chicago.
Marshall, who knows first-hand what it’s like to play in Chicago, argued why Wilson should come to the Bears. And he speaks from experience.
“I was there for 3 years. Amazing place! If you win, you are emblematic, ”said Marshall. “This is an emblematic franchise, which is at the top of all sports, probably the top 10, of the brands.
“So you want to go, you have a good defense and they will give you the keys. And I know they’ve already debated it internally, about what they can give up and what they’re willing to do to make Russell feel comfortable. “
Unfortunately, Marshall ranked the Bears as last among the four teams on Wilson’s shortlist. But at this point, can we really blame him?
While none of that would matter if Pace somehow landed Wilson, he would instantly be the best quarterback in the franchise in history. Make it happen, Pace.
