It looks like Tom Brady's decision will have a major impact on Bears' quarterback search

So the Bears are, reportedly, talking with Teddy Bridgewater’s camp about a contract. We’ll see if anything more comes of it on Monday. 

But you might need to wait for Tom Brady to make his decision before trying to buy that navy No. 5 Bridgewater jersey. 

It’s looking increasingly likely that Brady’s decision will have a definitive impact on which quarterback the Bears sign (or trade for) this week. If Brady signs with Tampa Bay, that seemingly would remove the Bears’ biggest competition to sign Bridgewater. 

If Brady stays in New England, will the Bears be willing to get into a bidding war with the Buccaneers for Bridgewater? 

The other part of this Bridgewater rumor, though, is even if it doesn't come to fruition, it's a shot across the bow of Mitch Trubisky. Maybe it means the Bears will move on to another quarterback target who wouldn't be brought in to just compete with Trubisky, but start over him. 

Stay tuned. There’s a lot to still happen in the next few hours.
