Never say never when it comes to the stupidity of GMs, but I assume asking for a 2nd is a "high ask" so they can haggle to something more reasonable for Dalton. As bleh as Trubisky is he was better than Dalton statistically in 2019, he's 7 years younger, he's on a rookie contract, the Bears are already stuck with for him for free, and he came closer to lucking into a playoff win in 1 try than Dalton did in 4.

Basically, if the Bears need to evaluate if Dalton is worth a 2nd they should put Trubisky on the trade block for a 2nd round pick themselves and see how the response comes back. I can see how the Titans bringing in Tannehill for a song and riding his hot streak to the championship game has teams thinking about competition for ho-hum starters, but a 2nd for one year of Dalton? Ida know, even taking them having Lazor into account.


Also, Mike Brown saying a QB who won 2 games and had a bottom-tier stat line in 2019 is worth a 2nd round pick is tantamount to saying Dalton is way better than he looked last year...which would indicate that our team/coaching negatively impacted Dalton is quite a serious way. But again, I guess this is just starting with a high opening price.
