Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks

Seattle Seahawks Win Tier: landmark Confidence: high

The Rick Mirer trade became one of Chicago's clearest quarterback-buying mistakes. The Bears sent a first-round pick to Seattle for Mirer, hoping he could revive his career and stabilize the position. Instead, Mirer barely contributed, Chicago burned premium draft capital, and the Seahawks escaped a fading quarterback asset before the value disappeared. It remains a priority indexing page because Mirer is one of the clearest Bears quarterback-trade cautionary tales.
