Laddies and gentleman the time has now come, a chance for the Chicago Bears to crush the Green Bay Packer faithful. Since 2005 it’s no surprise that Aaron Rodgers and the Packers have had their way in the NFC North. In 15 seasons with the Pack, Rodgers has made the playoffs a familiar place to play.
The Chicago Bears would love to see Aaron Rodgers leave the Green Bay Packers.
In his 20 playoff starts, Rodgers is only 11-9 but his personal statistics will wow you. He has completed 64.1% of his passes in the postseason as well as 45 touchdown passes to only 13 interceptions.
Rodgers has also had his way with the Bears in his career. In his 26 career games against the Bears, he is 21-5, completing almost 67% of his passes for a total of just over 6,000 yards. If it hasn’t been hard enough to read these ridiculous stats, he’s thrown the ball in the end zone vs the Bears a total of 55 times.
By now you’re probably asking yourself why must the author torture me this way? Here’s the good news, everything you just read may be coming to an end. We may live in a world where Aaron Rodgers is no longer in the NFC North division or maybe even a world where Rodgers wears blue and orange on Sundays.
After a recent report by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, it has become apparent that Rodgers has grown an extensive amount of frustration pertaining to his contract and that his plans to stay with Green Bay have come to an end. As a Packer fan, that might be a pretty tough pill to swallow. For the Bears fans, however, it sounds like a whole lot of smiles, laughs, and even opportunity.

Trading within the division is usually a tough task to fulfill. Trading with NFC North rivals may even be harder. While the Packers and Bears could make an argument for the league’s most anticipated rivalry, it becomes very hard for Bear fans to get excited knowing they are the lesser of two teams.
Quarterback play has been a real issue for the Bears for as far as I can remember. Names that make up a list that include below-average quarterbacks like Erik Kramer, Cade McNown, Jim Miller, Craig Krenzel, Kyle Orton, Rex Grossman, Matt Barkley, Mike Glennon, Mitchell Trubisky, Nick Foles, and now Andy Dalton.
So what can the Chicago Bears do to land a Super Bowl champion clutch time gunslinger like Aaron Rodgers? They will have to offer a huge amount of picks and players to the Green Bay Packer’s front office. Here’s a Chicago Bears trade package I have put together that I think would secure the MVP.
Packers Get
2021 First-Round Pick
2021 Second-Round Pick
Khalil Mack
Akiem Hicks
The Bears would need to trade the 20th pick. Green Bay could then take that 20th pick to fulfill their most needed position of cornerback by drafting Greg Newsome out of Northwestern. The Packers could also then use their 29th pick to grab an offensive lineman. Dillon Radunz, out of North Dakota State, could be that guy.
The Bears also would then trade Khalil Mack and Akiem Hicks which would fill the Green Bay void on the defensive line. Pace could sell the Pack on Hicks lining up next to Pro Bowler Kenny Clark in place of Dean Lowry or Tyler Lancaster which would be a huge upgrade for Green Bay.
