Report: Justin Fields' Increased Instagram Follows Suggest Potential Move to NFC Rival
Justin Fields Faces Uncertainty with Chicago Bears Amid Trade Rumors
Despite his strides as a quarterback, Justin Fields finds himself in a precarious position during the 2024 NFL offseason with the Chicago Bears. Rumors swirl about his availability on the trade block, especially as the Bears hold the first overall pick in the upcoming draft, heightening speculation about their interest in top quarterback prospects.
Adding fuel to the speculation is Fields' recent activity on Instagram. Notably, he unfollowed the Bears' official team account, a move often interpreted as signaling discord between player and team. This action, coupled with reports suggesting the franchise's intent to trade him, further fueled trade rumors.
Fields' subsequent Instagram activity, where he followed several Atlanta Falcons players, caught the attention of oddsmakers. DraftKings Sportsbook now lists the Falcons as the heavy favorite (-130) to acquire Fields in the offseason, with other options carrying less favorable odds. Remarkably, even the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers are favored over the Bears, indicating widespread belief in Fields' imminent departure.
The players Fields followed on Instagram, including Kyle Pitts, Drake London, and Bijan Robinson, are integral parts of the Falcons' offensive core for the upcoming season. This deliberate action, following his unfollowing of the Bears, suggests Fields may anticipate a move to Atlanta, further solidifying the Falcons' position as the frontrunners for his services according to sportsbooks.
