The Chicago Bears are nearing the end of their search for a new general manager and head coach, where there’s been no shortage of candidates for both jobs.
When you look at the head coach search specifically, there’s no home-run hire out there. But it sounds like the Bears did their due diligence when it came to all options, including potentially trading for a head coach.
According to SI’s Albert Breer, the Bears talked about trading for New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton. But it was ultimately shut down by Payton himself.
