The Chicago Bears made a “very aggressive pursuit” of Wilson, sources said, but were repulsed. For their part, the Bears have apparently agreed to a deal with free agent Andy Dalton, who will likely be part of the team’s quarterback competition after starting several games for the Dallas Cowboys last season.
In his lone season with the Cowboys, Dalton recorded 2170 passing steps and 14 passes. He was named starter after Dak Prescott came off with an injury and was lost for the season. He could be part of an open competition during the 2021 season during the quarterback for the Bears.

Wilson has been linked in recent rumors to the Bears leading up to the start of the NFL free period. The Las Vegas Raiders, New York Jets and Miami Dolphins were also among the teams seen as possible new homes for the quarterback.
The New York Daily News reported Tuesday the Jets could be the key to a potential deal for Wilson. The Seahawks are reportedly interested in the Jets’ Sam Darnold, and a three-team trade involving the Bears could be the key to Wilson’s departure from Seattle.
