The roadway leading to Halas Hall was lined with signs displaying messages of support for the Bears quarterback. Signs with phrases like "In Justin We Trustin," "Justin Fields 2024," and "We want Justin" were planted along the facility's perimeter.
Teammate D'Onta Foreman expressed his admiration, saying, "It was pretty cool. I mean this organization, this fan base, I don't know, it's different from other places I've been. It's so much different. It's bigger, and there's much more that comes with it."
Fans didn't limit their signs to just Fields, as some also targeted another teammate whose future with the team is uncertain. One sign read, "Re-sign Jaylon," emphasizing the importance of retaining a fellow player.
This offseason presents significant questions for the Bears, particularly regarding the futures of Justin Fields and another standout player, Khalil Herbert. The decision of whether to commit to Fields' development or explore other options will be a pivotal one for the team.
Fields, who has been vocal about focusing on the present and not dwelling on uncertainty, acknowledged the recurring theme of ambiguity regarding his future. He stated, "The thing is, we had the same topics and stuff last year. It's not like we didn't have the No. 1 pick last year. It's going to be the same thing. Like I said, I control what I can control. I'm going to get healthy this offseason, spend time with my family, and get better."
Fields acknowledged his growth during the season and expressed optimism about his future, whether it's in Chicago or elsewhere.
Despite his efforts and a late-season surge that instilled hope, Fields recognizes that Sunday's game could potentially be his last as the Bears' starting quarterback. He reflected, "I mean, I'm not sure. That decision is not in my hands. All I can control is what I did do. I gave it my all. Whether it's here or not, I have no regrets."
Fields also expressed his gratitude to the City of Chicago and its fans, appreciating their support throughout his journey with the Bears.
