Chicago Bears Poised to Move on from Justin Fields, Steelers Pass on Reunion
The Chicago Bears face a monumental decision this offseason: keep or trade quarterback Justin Fields. With reports leaning towards a fresh start with the projected No. 1 pick, Caleb Williams, Fields’ future hangs in the balance.
Fields’ Trade Market Heats Up:
Despite no official announcement, trade inquiries for Fields surfaced during the Senior Bowl, indicating potential suitors. Among them, the Pittsburgh Steelers initially appeared as a possible landing spot due to their quarterback need and Mike Tomlin’s reported admiration for Fields.
Steelers Opt for Stability with Pickett:
However, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac throws cold water on this speculation. He reports that the Steelers prioritize development and seek a quarterback willing to sit behind Kenny Pickett for at least another season.
This effectively eliminates Fields, Kirk Cousins, and possibly even Russell Wilson from their radar.
Fields’ Potential Destinations:
While the Steelers bow out, other quarterback-needy teams like the Atlanta Falcons, Denver Broncos, Las Vegas Raiders, and New England Patriots could emerge as serious contenders for Fields’ services.
