The Facts: The Bears did indeed try to finagle a trade for Wilson. According to Dan Patrick, Chicago offered three first-round picks, a third-round pick, and two unnamed starters for Wilson. The Seahawks, obviously, passed.
Diehards Line:
As PFT's Mike Florio notes, the problem, from the Bears' perspective, is that they hold the 20th overall pick this year. And if they have Wilson, the future first-round picks likely would landed in the 20s as well. The only remaining question is whether some other team with a higher spot in the 2021 pecking order decides to make a similar effort. The Jets, for example, have pick No. 2. The Dolphins have pick No. 3. The Panthers hold pick No. 8. Again, the Seahawks haven't drafted a quarterback in round one since 1993, and they've only ever used a first-rounder on a quarterback twice. Even if they didn't use the 2021 first-rounder from Wilson's new team on his replacement, the 2021 first-rounder needs to be a lot closer to No. 1 than No. 32.
