It should be noted, one league source emphasized, that Wentz was far more interested in joining the Colts than the Bears. His connection with Reich, and senior offensive assistant Press Taylor was alluring. Plus, with his agents at Rep 1 Sports also representing Mitch Trubisky, there was at least some trepidation for Wentz and his camp about trying to reignite his career in a shaky offense under Nagy that failed to lift Trubisky to success. That, too, might have hampered the Bears’ interest in acquiring Wentz from becoming more serious. (Why force the issue if there are significant reservations on both sides?)
Column: Carson Wentz is not coming to the Chicago Bears, ending 2 weeks of intense trade speculation. So what’s next in their never-ending search for a QB?
