CHICAGO -- Chicago Bears defensive coordinator and former Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano has decided to retire, league sources told ESPN, confirming multiple reports.

The Bears are likely to retain head coach Matt Nagy and general manger Ryan Pace, sources said.

Pagano, 60, spent just two seasons in Chicago after a six-year run as head coach of the Colts. He was hired by the Bears on Jan. 11, 2019, to replace decorated defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, who left to become head coach of the Denver Broncos.

Sounds like Wentz did not want to go to the Bears.

Indy gets a shot with Wentz working with Frank Reich again with an OL exponentially better than he's had recently.

Indy gives up a 1st and a third for him and the Eagles absorb the huge cap hit. Indy gets him for 22 million a year which is not bad for a guy that has at least shown he can be a good NFL QB and is still young. More importantly, it he doesn't work out there is no cap hit to just release him. You'd have given up draft picks, but you haven't compromised your cap for years to come.
