Larz Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 If you want Fields you don’t need to do anything about it until draft day unless the bears get a solid , real offer. free agency will dictate his market to a degree. Once cousins and Mayfield are signed the remaining teams in need will asses the rookie class. once that’s done you could get a feel for his market. wouldn’t shock me if the bears take a QB at one and keep fields until they get a decent offer for fields. GMs will be trying to use the idea that they have to trade fields against them. They may need to show they will carry both there could also be a pick and trade scenario like what happened with Eli 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Untouchable Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I’ve never understood the medias goofy fascination with this guy. You have dipsh*ts like Skip Bayless tossing around trade scenarios like Atlanta trading their 1st round pick to Chicago for Fields. What the hell has this dude shown for some team to trade a high pick for him and make him their unquestioned starter? I didn’t foresee him becoming the running threat that he’s become at the NFL level, but he still makes mind boggling mistakes and has zero pocket awareness. The only reason Fields isn’t looked at as a complete lost cause like Zach is because he’s capable of busting off a 60 yard run if sh*t breaks down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkeyeJet Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Unless the Broncos can get creative(I don’t see how they can) I think his only real shot at starting is the Falcons. One sleeper team I could see is the Patriots. If they don’t love a QB at 3, they could either select Harrison or move back and aquire Fields. If there is no true market for him, he should be at the front of the list for Joe D at backup QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warfish Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Some folks sure do get worked up awful early in all these processes..... It's not even the league new year yet, much less FA. Give things some time.

Your proclivity for exaggeration is your calling card. I'm not arguing for Fields being this or that in the NFL, but your F-grade report card is trash.

I'm not arguing for Fields being this or that in the NFL, but your F-grade report card is trash. The only reason he’s graded as anything above an F is for his athleticism. He’s just as smoothbrained as Zach when it comes to standing in the pocket and throwing the football. What’s trash are the constant excuses for him. Justin Fields isn’t surrounded by total garbage in Chicago. They’ve invested in the OL, brought in DJ Moore, Kmet is one of the better TE’s not named Kelce or Kittle, etc. Chicago is moving on from him and they’ll likely get a mid round pick in return. And Fields will be no lock to start on his next team, wherever that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFSIKH Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 1 hour ago, Matt39 said: I guess we should expect Cousins and Wilson to sign first before a trade happens? Is Fields a backup? Probably for 2024. If Cousins goes to Atlanta, like a lot are speculating, that closes one of the options Fields has been linked to. Tampa probably wants to keep Baker. Whomever Wilson ends up with for a season. Denver? Maybe to compete with Stidham if they do not draft someone at 12. Minnesota? If Cousins leaves, maybe to compete if they do not draft someone. Pittsburgh? Do they give Pickett another shot? Or do they bring Fields into compete? Probably make the same argument for TN (Levis). You could argue the Patriots draft a QB, trade Mac for Fields or sign if cut to let drafted QB sit. Rinse lather repeat for other teams not exactly set. He is nunlikely being traded for to be named QB1 on day one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYJCAP2 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 The Bears can keep both QBs, at least to start the season. (NFL had like 70 starting QBs in 2023). Crazy fans are literally all in our all out on Fields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, i agree, i'm just saying that's probably part of the problem. The bears have no reason to rush a trade for a day 3 pick... and who wants to give up a day 2 pick even for someone who won't want to stay, without getting a big extension.

I assume the Bears would decline, so keeping fields for his 4th (and final year in Chicago) probably wouldn't fool anyone (anyone not named Woody Johnson, that is!).

Skip Bayless was the loudest voice arguing Tebow was an incredible QB. He loves those QBs who run better than they pass and always ready to go down with the ship over it. There's always excess excitement in dual threat players even if they're not really a huge threat at either skillset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeNamathsFurCoat Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 His contract situation hurts his market. But the dude is a weapon. If you give him an OL and a qualty OC, I don't see why he can't be as good if not better than Lamar Jackson. He came out of OSU as a much more accomplished passer than Lamar was. He'd thrive under Greg Roman in that system. DJ Moore just had a career year with Fields. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
