Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields has shown more and more glimpses of being the offensive team leader the front office imagined he would be when they selected him in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. But is his growing field maturity and efficiency making the case for him remaining in Chicago or is it merely bolstering his trade value on the open market?
It’s almost a sure thing now that the Bears will have the overall no. 1 pick in this coming year’s draft from the Carolina Panthers. That means they’ll have first dibs on blue chip quarterback and Heisman Award winner Caleb Williams from USC. It also means that the temptation to move on from the 3-year veteran Fields will be immense.
But the Bears have options and, one would assume, the team is tossing around ideas regarding Fields and his future.
One option would just have Fields staying put while the team continues to build around him. They could even possibly trade away the no. 1 pick for the second straight season to add more talent, dropping a bit lower in the draft to have access to more of what they need.
