It wasn’t long ago that we have been debating whether or not Justin Fields used to be good adequate to forestall the Chicago Bears from spending the No. 1 choose in the 2024 NFL Draft on USC’s Caleb Williams.
Now, it appears like the Bears may be fortunate to get a Day 3 pick out in return for Fields in a trade.
That’s now not to say that Fields is not talented, or would not still have some promising upside at 24 years old. But after watching most of the quarterback-needy groups in the league add different veterans in free agency, it is left the Bears except many achievable trade partners who would be willing to supply them some thing of real fee in return for Fields.
The Atlanta Falcons signed Kirk Cousins. The Pittsburgh Steelers signed Russell Wilson. The Las Vegas Raiders signed Gardner Minshew. The Minnesota Vikings signed Sam Darnold.
The Washington Commanders and New England Patriots are in all likelihood to take quarterbacks proper after the Bears pick out at No. 1 in this year’s draft.
Who’s left on the board, and with the relaxation of the viable opposition drying up, why would that team experience compelled to offer a top class pick out to Fields, when they know the Bears are drafting his alternative at No. 1?
The Denver Broncos are one of the few groups that nonetheless have a gaping hole at quarterback, and would possibly be willing to swing a deal for Fields, thinking about they’re no longer selecting high sufficient in the first round to land one of this year’s top prospects. But after trading away lots of top rate selections for Russell Wilson and Sean Payton, they’re now not probable to provide much to Chicago for Fields.
Whatever the graph used to be for Fields this offseason, it looks like it’s backfiring in a massive way for Chicago.
