The Bears are keeping everyone else, so why not Nick Foles. At least that’s how the oddsmakers see it.

Foles, at 2/1, is currently favored to be the Bears’ Week 1 starter next season, according to Sports Betting Dime. Mitch Trubisky is listed at 5/2.

SBD is also laying odds of 15/1 that Ben Roethlisberger, Drew Brees and Philip Rivers will not be starters when the 2021 season begins.
