The basis of Foxworth's argument is that Fields has agreed to give the Bears his best effort as an employee. However, he believes the Bears are not fulfilling their end of the bargain so far when it comes to ensuring Fields is in the best possible position to succeed
Here is what he said:
Request a trade? What leverage does he have as a second-year quarterback? He threw for under 2,000 yards last season and failed to reach double-digit touchdowns.
Besides, Fields said it himself. He wants to be in Chicago.
"I'm glad to be here," Fields said Wednesday at Halas Hall. "I'm glad they [San Francisco 49ers] passed on me [in the draft]. I'm just ready to play this weekend."
Foxworth then mentioned that the salary cap is "messed up" in Chicago.
This is not true at all. The Bears are actually in decent shape with the salary cap for the remainder of the 2022 season. But when you look to 2023, they're not just projected to have the most cap space, they're projected to have more than $100 million to work with.
That was such a bad take from Foxworth. I get that Filed might not be in the greatest situation but to say that he should demand a trade after only starting 10 games is so dumb...
