The Chicago Bears reportedly declined the fifth-year option for quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, the second overall pick of the 2017 draft, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

 

 

The #Bears are declining the fifth-year option on QB Mitch Trubisky, source said.

The team has liked Trubisky’s attitude since the Nick Foles trade and it’ll be an open competition. A chance for Trubisky to make himself a lot of money before his contract expires next March.

 
 
 
 

Trubisky became a player Bears fans loved to hate last season, as his numbers dropped in almost every category. He threw for 3,138 yards in 15 games, which is low for this pass-first era, with 17 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Only three quarterbacks last year with at least 300 attempts had a lower passer rating than Trubisky’s 83 mark.

His drop in year three put the Bears in a tough spot.
