Ich habe einen interessanten Artikel in der Tribune gelesen, der eine sehr interessante und nachvollziehbare Sichtweise darlegt:
The Bears guaranteed Sanchez $1 million as part of a contract that has a base value of $2 million and could be worth as much as $4 million (Full breakdown of the deal: here). So in essence, the Bears have put down a non-refundable $1 million deposit on an insurance policy designed to protect them if the draft doesn't go the way they want it to at quarterback. The Bears entered Friday with more than $21 million in salary cap space--and they could increase that by $10 million by releasing two veterans--so the cost of adding Sanchez is not prohibitive.
[...]
Fans reacting so negatively to Sanchez's signing should ask themselves: What other quarterback moves could the Bears have made by March 24 to satisfy you? No options in free agency stood out as clear, proven paths to a long-term solution, and this was well documented. The list of names includes Colin Kaepernick, T.J. Yates, Matt Schaub, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Case Keenum, Robert Griffin III, Dan Orlovsky and Christian Ponder. Pick your poison.
