Fields and JSN Discussed Reunion with Bears Since Quarterback's Draft Selection
Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields has expressed his desire for the team's general manager, Ryan Poles, to bring wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba to the Windy City. Fields and Smith-Njigba previously played together at Ohio State and have been talking about reuniting for some time. Smith-Njigba is expected to be one of the top three wide receivers off the board in April's draft and could be a top-20 pick.
While the Bears currently hold the No. 1 overall pick, they don't have another selection until the end of Round 2, making it unlikely for Fields and Smith-Njigba to join forces in Chicago. Nevertheless, Smith-Njigba believes in his connection with Fields and said that starting his career alongside his good friend would mean a lot to him.
The Bears' best chance of landing Smith-Njigba would be trading back to No. 9 with the Carolina Panthers or getting the No. 2 and No. 12 picks from the Houston Texans in exchange for the top selection. If the Bears can't find a pick in the 10-20 range, Smith-Njigba's NFL journey won't start in Chicago, but he believes the Green Bay Packers would be a good fit for him.
Regardless, the Bears' plan is to rebuild the trenches and provide Fields with the support he needs to flourish. Fields hopes Smith-Njigba can be a focal point of the new-and-improved supporting cast. It's up to Poles to make the dream of two Buckeyes playing together a reality in Chicago.
