Despite the Bears reportedly leaning towards drafting Caleb Williams with their No. 1 overall pick, Fields is available for trade. However, there hasn't been significant interest in him, with reports indicating that interested teams view him as a backup option.
Recent rumors now link Fields to the Philadelphia Eagles, a Super Bowl-contending team already boasting a superstar quarterback in Jalen Hurts.
Speculation about a potential trade to Philadelphia surfaced on Monday. Insiders suggest that the Eagles are in the mix for Fields, who would serve as Hurts' understudy if acquired.
The Eagles were also identified as a potential trade partner during a conversation between Rich Eisen and Albert Breer, who suggested they might be willing to part with a late draft pick for Fields.
Although the Bears were expected to trade Fields by now, the lack of a robust market for him has delayed any potential deal. While Chicago may opt to draft Williams and retain Fields, the Eagles remain interested in acquiring him, particularly since Marcus Mariota has departed for Washington.
