When one quarterback makes an offseason move, it so often seems to affect other quarterbacks and other teams.
Comeback Player of the Year Alex Smith retired on Monday and as a result there was a residual effect reaching the Bears.
Nick Foles' spot as the Bears backup to Andy Dalton looks all the more secure now as a result of Smith's decision.
It's long been thought the Bears could be interested in Smith as a potential backup if they decided to trade Foles, largely because of coach Matt Nagy's past ties with him from Kansas City.
Foles has now been in the Bears offense for a year and should be valuable in both helping Dalton learn the attack but also for pushing Dalton. Foles' play last year was anything but stellar but he had what essentially were 15 on-field practices to try and win the position from Mitchell Trubisky and display a knowledge of the offense.
