As reported a few months ago following the trade, the Bears will get a 4th-round draft pick instead of a 6th-round draft pick if Fields plays at least 51% of the snaps this upcoming season.
Following a press conference with Steelers HC Mike Tomlin, Bears fans are feeling positive:

As heard, Tomlin makes it clear that the starting job is up for grabs between Fields and veteran QB Russell Wilson.
Wilson is still dealing with a minor calf injury, so Fields will be starting in the first preseason game. This is a great chance for Fields to prove himself and show why he deserves to be the starting QB.
