Justin Fields Rumors

Justin Fields has been the talk around the league in the last 24 hours as trade rumors began to surface after he unfollowed the Bears on social media. 

We see this all the time. Athletes/Celebrities unfollow someone for some reason. Seems childish and attention-seeking. I am more concerned about the people who find out someone unfollowed someone. Is somebody’s job just sitting on a computer refreshing everyone’s social media to see who’s following whom? 

Anyways, Fields went on the St. Brown Bros Podcast today and talked about the unfollowing incident. He made a joke saying if you are talking to a girl it doesn’t mean you are following her on social media. Funny one Mr. Fields. 

Now maybe he unfollowed the Bears because he doesn’t want to play for them or he thinks they are gonna trade him or maybe he is just tired of seeing all these posts about him and wants a break from the distractions. 

However, after he unfollowed them, trade rumors of course surfaced. Top landing spot odds have come out on where Fields will end up for the 2024-25 season. 

Falcons -130

Steelers +350

Patriots +700

Bears +750

Broncos +1000

The Bears have so many paths they can take this team down in the next few months. They hold the first overall and ninth overall pick in this year’s draft with many star quarterback prospects like Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, and Jayden Daniels. 

Do the Bears trade fields and draft Williams? Do they stick with Fields and trade the first overall pick for a huge return? The 49ers traded three first-rounders for Trey Lance years ago so imagine what the package for Williams will be. 

If I am the Bears I trade the pick and get at least 3 first-rounders in return and build my team around Fields. If he produces you can extend him for the future, if he doesn’t perform then you go out and get a quarterback next year or the year after and the new quarterback will already have a solid team around him ready to go.
