Report: Trubisky re-signing with Bears unlikely without playoff run

Mitchell Trubisky will need to make some serious noise in the playoffs if he's to keep his job.

The Chicago Bears "are not set" on re-signing the quarterback, with the possibility the team changes its mind if Trubisky leads a postseason run, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Chicago is set to take on the No. 2 seed New Orleans Saints on Sunday.

Trubisky will become an unrestricted free agent this offseason after the NFC North club opted not to pick up his fifth-year option.

The No. 2 pick in the 2017 NFL Draft regained his starting job in Week 12 after being benched midway through the year for Nick Foles.

Trubisky helped lead the 8-8 Bears to three wins over their last six games to claim the NFC's final wild-card spot.

However, he struggled in the regular-season finale loss to the Green Bay Packers, with Chicago making the playoffs with help from the Los Angeles Rams, who beat the Arizona Cardinals.
