If the Detroit Lions want to win the NFC North division again, they will probably have to contend with fierce competition from the Green Bay Packers. Months of speculation have come to an end, as NFL Network reports that the Chicago Bears have agreed to trade quarterback Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers. According to reports, Pittsburgh, who just made a deal for quarterback Russell Wilson, is sending a conditional sixth-round pick, which could go as high as the fourth round based on how much playing time Fields gets
Months of speculation have come to an end, as NFL Network reports that the Chicago Bears have agreed to trade quarterback Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers. According to reports, Pittsburgh, who just made a deal for quarterback Russell Wilson, is sending a conditional sixth-round pick, which could go as high as the fourth round based on how much playing time Fields gets.
Earlier this offseason, the Vikings also lost their starting quarterback, as veteran Kirk Cousins signed a long-term contract with the Atlanta Falcons. Fields, 25, told Lions wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown in a recent podcast appearance that the rumors became irritating and that he had a strong desire to remain in Chicago
Of course I want to stay. I can’t see myself playing in another place. But if it was up to me, I would want to stay in Chicago. I love the city. The city’s lit,” Fields said. “The fans there are great, and the people. It’s a business. I ain’t got no control over it; whatever happens, happens. I think the biggest thing with all this going on right now, I just want it to be over. Like, just let me know if I’m getting traded, let me know if I’m staying, this and that.
Chicago, barring a draft trade, is expected to select quarterback Caleb Williams with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. General Manager Ryan Poles has added offensive talent the past couple of seasons, as Keenan Allen and DJ Moore should provide a young rookie quarterback reliable and established targets to throw to.
