Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields is drawing lots of interest from around the NFL as five teams are said to be keen on trading for him.

Fields is expected to leave Chicago in the offseason, with the Bears now thought to be ready to use their No. 1 overall pick on former USC star Caleb Williams. Having traded their pick to the Carolina Panthers in exchange for multiple assets last year, the NFC North outfit did little to improve their fortunes, finishing last in said division with a 7-10 record, though they won four more games than they did in 2022.

 

As to whether or not Williams is the answer remains to be seen, but it’s something the Bears are willing to explore, at least the way certain sources see it.

Fields, meanwhile, is being monitored by a handful of teams, according to the NFL Notifications account on X.

The Atlanta Falcons, Pittsburgh Steelers, Las Vegas Raiders, Seattle Seahawks, and New England Patriots are all understood to have him in their sights.

All of the aforementioned are in the market for a new quarterback this year and Fields might be just the man to take one of them back to the top.

Still, a Chicago exit isn’t a foregone conclusion. The Bears might decide that it would be best to keep adding pieces around him instead of starting a rebuild.
