It appears that Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will not be the only starting quarterback in the NFC North with a Super Bowl MVP on his resume.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Chicago Bears have traded for Nick Foles from the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Bears’ coaches such as Matt Nagy have worked with Foles in past and know him well.
In a relief role, Foles led the Philadelphia Eagles to a win in Super Bowl LI over the New England Patriots to culminate the 2017 season. He won the MVP award for that game.
Foles would theoretically compete with Mitch Trubisky for the starting job.
