NFL writer urges Justin Fields to demand a trade out of Chicago
While the offseason has probably not gone according to plan for the Bears, the sentiment about the current state of the roster is not very promising. However, I don't believe at all that it is time to push the panic button.
According to a foolish writer at Sports Illustrated, Justin Fields should try to seek out a trade out of Chicago. This is absolutely ludicrous. He says that Fields is the perfect example of why the NFL needs a transfer portal. What??
I won't even name the writer because he doesn't even deserve it. He has the right to speak his mind. However, I have the right to refute it as well. His idea is plain and simply dumb. How on earth would a transfer portal make things better for the NFL. Teams like the Bears spend so much draft capital and money to obtain players like Justin Fields. They can't afford to lose him after 10 starts.
This brings me to my other point. How on earth can you expect a player to be traded after 10 games in the NFL. Fields did not even have the chance to showcase what he is totally capable of yet. Give him an NFL off-season full of OTA's, camps and workouts to get better. The kid just turned 23 years old for God's sake.
Now, did the Bears make some amazing moves in order to surround him with premier talent for next season? They did not.
However, they did make some solid moves to boost up the offensive line and they still have plenty of cap space to bring in more players in both free agency and the upcoming draft. In addition to that, the new coaching staff is going to be a huge upgrade from last season and they are literally gathering an offense around Fields. While I don't think he is in a perfect situation, the idea of him asking out already is blasphemous... Do better people.
