A winner has been named in one of the more notable quarterback battles this offseason.
Mitch Trubisky will retain his job as the Bears' starter to begin the 2020 season, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported, per sources. Chicago faces the Detroit Lions on the road in Week 1.
Nick Foles, whom the Bears traded for in March, will serve as the backup in a competition that could re-open during the season.
Bears coach Matt Nagy informed Trubisky late Friday afternoon, per Pelissero, who was consistently told the former No. 2 overall pick approached the competition "the right way" after nearly losing his job after three seasons. With no preseason games to evaluate, the competition played out on the practice field in training camp.
Trubisky, 26, is coming off a disappointing season that led to Chicago giving up a fourth-round pick to the Jaguars for Foles, whose contract was then restructured. The Bears offense was predictable and imprecise with Trubisky under center in 2019, ranking in the bottom five in total yards and a measly 17.5 points per game. Trubisky threw for 3,138 yards, 17 touchdowns and 10 interceptions as the Bears finished 2019 with an 8-8 record and out of the playoffs.
This all came just one year after the Bears won the NFC North behind a stellar defense and an offense that consistently took advantage of good field position and a solid running attack. Trubisky appeared to prove himself a solid game manager with upside after Year 2, but his 2019 season was enough of a regression for the Bears to make a move.
Foles, 31, may find comfort as the Bears' backup, a role he's championed over the years.
After all, it was Foles who helped end the Bears' short-lived playoff run in 2018, when the Eagles stepped into Soldier Field and stopped Trubisky's best season in the Divisional Round. Foles wasn't able to rescue the Eagles into another Super Bowl run that year but his play in Philadelphia led to a big contract offer from the Jaguars. An injury-laden 2019 had Foles out half the year, with his job eventually being taken by sixth-round rookie Gardner Minshew. However, if there's anyone who stays ready to play when called upon, it's the Super Bowl LII MVP

Trubisky on QB competition with Foles: 'I want to win this thing'
The Chicago Bears traded for Nick Foles during free agency to create competition with Mitchell Trubisky at quarterback. Their preseason battle won't be settled, at least publicly, until the season opener.
Bears coach Matt Nagy told reporters Saturday he will not announce a starting QB before Chicago's Week 1 game versus the Detroit Lions. That perhaps gives Foles and Trubisky two more weeks to win the job, though local reports have been consistent that the newcomer has outplayed the incumbent and appears to be slightly ahead. Nagy declined to say which quarterback has been better thus far, per ESPN's Jeff Dickerson.
Chicago is merely looking for an upgrade over last season.
The lack of public declaration at this point might be a bit of gamesmanship but also speaks to the uncertainty surrounding the two signal-callers. Trubisky regressed in Year 3, likely costing the 8-8 Bears and their fourth-ranked scoring defense a return trip to the playoffs. Foles, interestingly, wasn't necessarily better during his one-year pit stop in Jacksonville. The former Super Bowl MVP went winless in four starts and, after returning from a shoulder injury, was ultimately benched in favor of rookie Gardner Minshew.
The Bears traded a fourth-round pick to the Jaguars for Foles and quickly restructured his contract, all while declining Trubisky's fifth-year option. While Chicago has a greater financial commitment to the former at this point, how each QB fares on Sundays, should they both play this year, will determine whether either has a future in the Windy City.
Starting the season opener is literally just the beginning.

Bears: Brian Urlacher comments do not reflect values of organization

The Chicago Bears are distancing themselves from recent insensitive social media comments made by Hall of Fame linebacker Brian Urlacher regarding the Kenosha (Wis.) police shooting of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, and subsequent decision of NBA players to sit out playoff games in protest.
Urlacher posted the following to his Instagram story Thursday:
"Brett Favre played the MNF game the day his dad died, threw 4 TDs in the first half, and was a legend for playing in the face of adversity.
"NBA players boycott the playoffs because a dude reaching for a knife, wanted on a felony sexual assault warrant, was shot by police."
Court records show an arrest warrant had been issued for Blake for criminal trespass, disorderly conduct and third-degree sexual assault, a felony, per The New York Times.
Urlacher also allegedly liked a social media post calling for the release of Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old white teenager who has been charged with first-degree homicide in the killing of two protesters this week in Kenosha.
"The social media posts in no way reflect the values or opinions of the Chicago Bears organization," the team said in a statement.
Former Bears running back Matt Forte, who played with Urlacher in Chicago for five seasons, wrote on Twitter that Urlacher's comments were "void of empathy, compassion, wisdom and coherence" and reflected his ignorance and privilege.
"The comment @BUrlacher54 posted is void of empathy, compassion, wisdom and coherence," Forte said. "But full of pride and ignorance! I pray for those who have been blinded by their wealth, privilege and earthly fame that breeds arrogance in their hearts.
"And those who refuse to acknowledge racism and injustice but instead choose to place their energy into justifying it by quickly judging the victims life as if they themselves are more valuable because their sins are different or weren't caught by man... but God sees all.
"End Racism and injustice #byanymeansnecessary

Bears DE Khalil Mack on 2020 season: 'This is gonna be fun'

Khalil Mack highlights | 2019 season
There's a quarterback competition in Chicago, perhaps you've heard.
Nick Foles has arrived and is aiming to unseat Mitchell Trubisky.
As training camp carries on and the QB1 battle wages, the face of the franchise Khalil Mack let it be known where his loyalty lies: Winning.
"Whether it's [No.] 9 or 10, we're gonna win," Mack said Saturday, via the Chicago Sun-Times' Patrick Finley.
No. 9 is Foles, No. 10 is Trubisky and eight is the number of wins the Bears cobbled together in a 2019 season that collapsed short of expectations put forth by an NFC North-championship 2018 campaign.
When last season limped to its conclusion, the biggest, baddest Bear's final comments to reporters in December were that the season "definitely wasn't what I wanted."
On a summer Saturday in Chi-Town, he echoed those same sentiments.
"I wasn't good enough," Mack said, via USA Today. "Wasn't good enough at all. Understanding that, there are different intangibles that came with it. I don't make any excuses. I just rise to the occasion and I am getting ready for this one. It's gonna be a fun one, man, I can't wait."
A Chicago Bear emerging from hibernation and channeling his inner Bart Scott, Mack's comments are those of a midway monster left hungry from a 2019 season that was hardly filling.
Across the NFL and the world at large, there is much trepidation for the unknown ahead amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, Mack, one of the most feared pass rushers in all the land, is speaking of fun and anticipation, sure to curve a smile upon Bears fans' faces and strike a bit of fear into opposing quarterbacks.
"I know myself," he said. "I know what I'm capable of. And this is gonna be fun, man. I can't wait to get out there with my teammates and make plays and give oohs and ahhs to the TV crowd. And all that that brings, it brings me joy, man. I love this game. It's fun. I don't stress over this game. But I love it and I just can't wait to get out there with my guys."

He got scammed by an entrepreneur. I watched Cavallari on Laguna Beach. The show rocked. I put the drapes down so no one knew I was watching. Lmao
JC is now going to be looking for singles. It is sad. Diabetes two destroyed him. He was energetic before. He volunteered to throw at earl bennett’s pro day. He had a cutoff sleeve shirt. His arms were huge. He benched 225 like 25 times at his rookie proday.
His life is a depressing American tragedy. I feel for you JC. You would have went to the HOF if it were not for diabetes two. Uhhhh.
Sad, sad, sad.
If you are reading, hit me up. We can complain about princesses.
