The Facts: Contrary to an ESPN report that the Bears plan to let Trubisky leave via free agency, a source with direct knowledge of the situation tells PFT that a Trubisky return has not been ruled out. Likewise, Trubisky has not been informed that the Bears won't attempt to bring him back.

Diehards Line: Trubisky will be able to sign with anyone he wants on Wednesday, and his agent officially can start negotiating with other teams on Monday at noon ET. If he stays in Chicago, he'd have a good chance to start. If he leaves, it's unclear what his status would be. Some teams may see him as a backup at best, and the contractual offers would surely reflect that mindset, if that's the case. The Bears quite possibly view Trubisky as an insurance policy at the position, if other options don't pan out. They're still believed to be interested in trying to trade for quarterback Russell Wilson, although that won't be easy to pull off.
