3 Nick Foles trades the Chicago Bears should pick up the phone and offer

The New York Jets need to protect their biggest asset in rookie Zach Wilson

This one is so obvious. The New York Jets have to get a proven veteran backup to help bring along No. 2 overall pick Zach Wilson out of BYU. While Wilson offers major upside, he is the likeliest quarterback taken in the first round back in the spring to bust. With a new defensive-minded head coach in Robert Saleh, he needs to get a journeyman signal-caller like Foles to bring Wilson along.

The two other quarterbacks on the Jets roster are former Group of Five players in second-year pro James Morgan out of FIU and four-year pro Mike White out of Western Kentucky. If Wilson gets hurt or cannot grasp the playbook fast enough, the Jets will win exactly zero games without him. While they are still in the midst of a rebuild, New York needs to do its very best to be competitive.

Foles would be better than last year’s backup quarterback in Joe Flacco. Though New York is still the fourth-best team in the AFC East, the Jets could push for six or seven wins if they get competent quarterback play out of Wilson, or out of Foles in a rare start. The best part is the Jets would be able to offer the Bears the most of any team who could be interested in trading for him.

Overall, the Bears have a more robust market for Foles than you would realize. While a fourth or fifth potential suitor could emerge, the Titans, Cowboys and Jets are the teams who could use him the most. Desperation by Tennessee and Dallas about getting into playoff position could be used to the Bears’ advantage, but the most stress-free trade partner for them is definitely New York.

What teams can put together the best trade package with the Bears to land Foles this summer?
