ACCORDING TO REPORTS, THREE NFL TEAMS HAVE SHOWN INTEREST IN TRADING FOR JUSTIN FIELDS FROM THE CHICAGO BEARS, AND AMONG THEM ARE THE LAS VEGAS RAIDERS.
The Chicago Bears have been relatively tight-lipped about their plans regarding the No. 1 overall pick and their quarterback, Justin Fields. However, it's becoming increasingly clear that Fields is likely to be traded, with NFL trade rumors already swirling around potential destinations.
Fields, entering his fourth season, previously found himself in a similar situation last year. Although Chicago held the No. 1 overall pick, they ultimately committed to Fields and traded the top selection to the Carolina Panthers. Fast forward a year later, and it appears that the Bears are leaning towards a different course of action in 2024.
Despite not making significant strides as a passer, Fields remains one of the top quarterback options available outside the NFL Draft this year. With factors like Kirk Cousins' injury and the potential high cost of a Baker Mayfield contract, Fields presents an appealing and cost-effective option with considerable upside.
According to reports from USA Today's Tyler Dragon, the Atlanta Falcons, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Las Vegas Raiders have all shown interest in acquiring Fields this offseason.
The Falcons have long been seen as a potential landing spot for Fields, given his Georgia roots. While he may not perfectly fit into offensive coordinator Zac Robinson's system, he represents a cost-efficient option surrounded by talent and a strong coaching staff in his hometown.
In Pittsburgh, the quarterback situation is more complex, with the team reportedly divided over their approach. While players prefer a veteran presence at quarterback, the front office remains committed to their young signal-caller, and head coach Mike Tomlin reportedly holds Fields in high regard.
As for Las Vegas, offensive coordinator Luke Getsy has experience with Fields from their time together in Chicago. However, Getsy has faced criticism for underutilizing Fields' skill set in the past, and there are reports suggesting that he was hired under the belief that Fields was the issue with the Bears' offense.
While it's expected that Fields will be traded, the team he ends up with remains uncertain. However, a resolution is anticipated within the next two weeks, with Chicago likely to select quarterback Caleb Williams with the first overall pick as part of their plan moving forward.
