Unable to find a trade partner
The #Bears have agreed to release QB Nick Foles, his agent Justin Schulman confirmed. The team’s new regime decided to allow Foles to find his next home rather than continue to search for a trade partner. “Ryan Poles did the classy thing and Nick appreciates it,” Schulman said.

Nerdy Football Analysis: Foles was brought in to compete with Mitchell Trubisky in 2020 but neither stood out as the Bears averaged their way to an 8-8 record. With the drafting of Justin Fields and having Trevor Siemian as a backup, Foles is expendable. The Bears haven’t been able to find a trade partner but now that he’s free to sign anywhere, he’ll likely find a role as backup on a QB-needy team.
