It sounds like the Bears have a massive offer on the table for Deshaun Watson

In a weird way, it’s an exciting time to be a Chicago Bears fan. Because while the Bears will likely be in for another mediocre season that will result in the firings of general manager Ryan Pace and head coach Matt Nagy, the offseason has been one where imaginations have run wild thanks to the league’s quarterback carousel.

The Bears have been linked to two potential star quarterbacks that could be traded in Houston’s Deshaun Watson and Seattle’s Russell Wilson. The mere thought of Watson or Wilson in a Bears uniform has been the most exciting part of this offseason.

It’s not a question of whether Chicago would be willing to give up substantial compensation for either Watson or Wilson, it’s a matter of whether the Texans or Seahawks will pounce on the opportunity to take advantage of a team desperate for a quarterback.

And while it seems like a pipe dream at this point, one NFL insider is adding fuel to the fire of a possible Watson to the Bears trade.

According to ESPN insider Jeff Darlington, it sounds like Chicago has a massive offer on the table for Watson.

“It’s gonna be tough to find a team that’s willing to give up as much as the Bears will right now,” Darlington said, an indication that Chicago might be the highest bidders at this time.

Although that doesn’t matter unless the Texans deal Watson, a move that feels inevitable as Watson doubled down by saying he’ll never play for Houston again.

The Bears are a team ripe for being taken advantage of, as Darlington noted. And desperation never felt so good for Bears fans.
