The Bears will “definitely” get a 2nd for Justin Fields. Could even get a 1st.

Call your shot...where does he end up?

What is Justin Fields’ trade market?

Now that we have established that the possibility of the Chicago Bears trading Justin Fields is real, we should move on to discussing his trade market. As mentioned above, ESPN’s Adam Schefter believes Chicago’s football team will “definitely” get a second-rounder if it decides to draft a quarterback and move on from Fields. Instantly, my mind races to figure out which teams could be in the market to make such a move.

These are the teams I’ve come up with as the most sensible trade partners for the Bears:

New England Patriots, Pick No. 34: If quarterbacks go off the board with the first and second picks, the Patriots will be left holding the third pick and faced with quite a dilemma. Pats fans will be debating the idea of taking the third-best quarterback prospect of this class or selecting Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., who could make a strong case for being the best prospect in this class. Should New England decide on going with Harrison, they’d still be in the market for a quarterback — which is where Fields fits in.


quote:

Atlanta Falcons, Pick No. 43:

The Falcons were a team that made sense in the eyes of some as a potential Bears trade partner. But that was before the team jettisoned coach Arthur Smith and brought in Raheem Morris. Still, the quarterback position remains up-in-the-air in Atlanta. And a Fields homecoming story would be fun to follow.

quote:

Las Vegas Raiders, Pick No. 44: 

Not only did the Raiders kick the tires on Fields’ former OC, they hired Luke Getsy after a deal fell apart for Kliff Kingsbury. For what it’s worth, Getsy ended the year listing specific areas where Fields has improved. And in January, I came up with some reasons why Vegas made sense as a fitting landing spot for Fields:

quote:

Pittsburgh Steelers, Pick No. 51: 

The Steelers are in quarterback limbo. This is a team that willingly started Mason Rudolph in a playoff game while 2022 first-round pick Kenny Pickett languished on the bench. But with Pittsburgh picking in the middle of the first round, they’ll likely be unable to take a big swing at the quarterback position. Hence, this is where Fields could come into play as an option for the Steelers — which also happens to be something we discussed in January:

How much money did Chicago give Shefter to report this?

Did the agent write this story, or pay the reporter to write it.

I've seen Williams, Maye, and Daniels all interchangeable as the top 3.

I feel like the Falcons are gonna make a move. Will they give up their next 2 firsts for Jayden, Caleb, or Drake? Or will they play it safe and get Fields for a 2nd?

I think Bears are crazy to take Caleb and trade Fields. Caleb is not that much better than Fields. Not that Fields is great. Caleb just is way overhyped

Atlanta guaranteed NFC South Champs 3 of the next 4 years if they sign him.

I am a huge Justin Fields believer, especially with those kinds of weapons.

A second would be awful for what is essentially a one-year tryout. A first should get a GM fired.

You should be identifying multi-year immediate starters in the second round. Justin Fields has not proven he can win games consistently in the league.

Some team will be desperate enough to do it, but I wouldn't give up more than a 3rd.

that'd be a fireable offense.

Atlanta. New coach. Too good to tank.

Lots of weapons. Fields can use his legs and has improved as a passer.

This has Raiders all over it. They will trade for him, and prolong the misery of that franchise by at least another 5 years.

Fields is a bust, has always been a bust, and will always be a bust.

If true you trade him all day simply for the fact that you’re restarting your rookie qb clock on a guy that will almost assuredly pass better than him. Even if he doesn’t you don’t want to be the guy who paid justin fields a second contract.
