Now maybe that's, you know, diving into those speculative weeds a little bit. 100% confirmed, not reckless speculation, the Vikings had dialogue with Chicago, absolutely had interest in Herbert. So it wasn't Cam Akers or bust. Now clearly the Bears wouldn't do the parameters of the deal. The Vikings worked out with Houston."- Darren Wolfson</blockquote>Herbert is going to be a free agent after the season so people would expect the Bears to acquire some draft capital in exchange for him. But the Bears stood pat and kept the 26-year-old.An underrated factor in why Chicago kept him was not sending him to a division rival who is 5-0 already. In his career with the Bears, Herbert has logged 1,791 rushing yards and nine touchdowns. He is a quality ball carrier but is likely to walk away in the free agency. Chicago would be smart to gain some draft capital if they don't plan on bringing him back. Minnesota just wasn't the right team for Chicago to negotiate with it appears.</div></body>
