Now, keep in mind the Bears are searching for a quarterback because general manager Ryan Pace selected Mitch Trubisky over Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson in the 2017 NFL Draft. Not to mention the money given to Mike Glennon (also in 2017) and the trade for Nick Foles last offseason.

Which brings us to this Tweet, which sums up this tragic situation perfectly.
Ugh.
