I can’t believe the Bears actually went out and signed the former Cowboys backup. This isn’t just surprising. It’s downright shocking.
It’s also a sign that they’re officially out of the running for Russell Wilson. There’s no way the Bears would have signed Dalton if Wilson was still in play.
Now, Nick Foles and Dalton will presumably battle it out for the starting job with Trubisky being shown the exit.
I’m sitting here stunned right now. Fans have every right in the world to be furious. You can go from believing you’re getting Russell Wilson to getting Andy Dalton and expect people to just sit there and take it.
What a wild turn of events for the Bears and fans of the team.
