FILE - In this Dec. 15, 2019, file photo, Chicago Bears' Mitchell Trubisky warms up before an NFL football game against the Green Bay Packers, in Green Bay, Wis. Trubisky understands why the Bears acquired quarterback Nick Foles. That doesn't mean he's ready to hand over the starting job. Trubisky said the trade for Foles gave him extra motivation to show he can develop into the franchise quarterback the Bears thought he would become when they moved up a spot to draft him with the No. 2 overall pick in 2017. “That's the business we're in,” he said in a conference call on Friday, June 12, 2020.
