The Chicago Bears are said to have a definitive position regarding a potential trade involving Justin Fields.
Justin Fields appears to be lacking interest on the trade front, but indications suggest the Chicago Bears are resolute in their decision to part ways with the young quarterback.
Bears' GM Ryan Poles had previously indicated the team's intention to trade Fields before the onset of free agency, a move that now seems logical given the dwindling pool of QB-needy teams. With fewer potential suitors, the trade market for the former Ohio State standout has become notably sparse.
Despite the lack of traction in the trade talks, ESPN's Field Yates reports that the Bears remain steadfast in their draft strategy. There's been no indication that they plan to retain Fields and trade down from the No. 1 spot in the upcoming draft.
Speculation has arisen regarding the possibility of the Bears repeating last year's trade-back scenario, which netted them significant returns. However, recent reports suggest that the return for this year's top pick could be even more lucrative, fueled by high demand for quarterback prospect Caleb Williams. Nevertheless, the Bears may harbor similar enthusiasm for former USC star Williams' potential as a franchise cornerstone.
Adding to the intrigue, ESPN's Adam Schefter revealed a pertinent detail this week hinting that the Bears may not secure a substantial return in a Fields trade. While circumstances could evolve closer to the draft, the underwhelming free agency period hasn't bolstered Chicago's bargaining position.
