Trade rumors have put many Chicago Bears fans on edge recently, but a now-deleted tweet from running back David Montgomery sent those emotions into overdrive on social media Wednesday.
Montgomery, coming off his best season as a professional with the Bears, sent out a tweet Wednesday talking about his time with the Bears, but it was his use of the past tense that captured the attention of Bears nation:
“Playing in Chicago has been fun and I met some great people along the way,” Montgomery tweeted Wednesday afternoon.
Bears fans did…..not take the tweet well:
A short time later, Montgomery deleted the tweet and clarified his comments:
"Y'all took that completely wrong," he said. "It was not intended in the purpose of football! Has nothing to do with ball! I love Chicago, and I'm ready to be here for a long time and win a lot of games."
Bears fans are on edge at the moment, with the team reportedly engaged in trade talks as they look to secure a new quarterback for the 2021 season. They are in the mix for Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz, and have been connected to several others as well.
