It would make a lot of sense.  We wouldn't have to give up draft picks we can't afford.  He knows the system and was with Nagy for 5 years.

I would love Russell Wilson but no way can the Bears give up 3 first round picks and players to get him.

Watson I would like but wouldn't give more then one first round pick for him.

Ryan Fitzpatrick may also be a solution.

We can't just go with Foles but we can't afford to give up the future for a QB when there are so many holes already.

The Bears are over the cap but so is just about everyone else due to Covid and the "Get Woke Crusade" that drove tons of fans away.  So lot's of players are going to get cut and then re-signed for less.  Which is going to cause a lot of player movement this off season.  It is going to be wild.

Alex Smith played really poorly last season.  I'd have pretty low expectations that a guy in his late thirties who has had some serious injuries is going to get back to being a decent nfl qb.

My point is that he would be a cheaper backup QB than Foles and a backup and mentor to a rookie QB. I agree that the possibility of him as the starter is not appealing. However that said, he is more appealing to me than this trash:

Pace would trip over himself to pull the trigger if Seattle or Houston agreed to trade their QBs for 3 ones + player(s) and the rest of the league know it.  Now how do upgrade the line with no picks and no cap space?  Well the crazy bastard will work hard and collaborate on that later.

Alex Smith wouldn't last long with the Bears OL.

I dont think the bears are going to eat money on the Foles contract to pay new money to Smith.  Unless Foles is part of a qb upgrade trade, he's on the bears next year.

Foles will be here as a back up unless he gets traded.

Talk about putting the cart before the horse, No team is going to the draft first then get a FA QB.

Hmmmm. They’re talking 3 first rounders and a player or two for Russell Wilson.

The guy is 32 years old that’s a pretty heavy price.

It matters little what we think.  Pace and Nagy are going to get fired if they don't win next year.  They are going to go all in if they think it means they can save their jobs.

I wouldn’t be so sure they’ll be fired next year.
