Are the Chicago Bears trading Justin Fields ahead of the 2023 NFL Draft?

The Chicago Bears have some big decisions to make ahead of the 2023 NFL Draft. Of course, they currently hold the first overall selection which means they are now on the clock. Every team in the league wants that pick from them but only a few have a real chance to get it.

There is also another wrinkle to all of this. We aren’t positive that they are all in on Justin Fields right now. We thought they might be but there are still folks out there talking about a potential switch. That could mean that the Bears select a quarterback with that first overall pick.

Justin Fields showed tremendous strides in his game this year. He became one of the most lethal ground threats we’ve ever seen from the quarterback position. However, he was not as good when it came time to actually throw the football.

There were a lot of plays that he made that were s cool to watch but that didn’t lead to any winning. We have no clue if he has what it takes to be a winner in this league. Of course, the team around him is terrible but that hasn’t kept some other quarterbacks from taking big steps.

Justin Fields isn’t a lock to be on the Chicago Bears in 2023 or beyond.

If you had to guess whether or not the Bears will trade Fields, the answer would be no. However, it is a true possibility. There are a lot of teams in the top ten that could really use a quarterback right now. Between him and the first overall pick, the Bears really could rule this entire draft.

Justin Fields was not drafted by Ryan Poles so he is not his guy. Maybe he became that guy but we won’t truly know until the draft is complete. When you are a team like the Bears who have been bad forever, everything must be on the table when it comes to planning.

If Fields is only good with his legs again in 2023, they won’t get anything for him in a trade so that has to be considered as well. All of these moves could change the franchise for good or bad. All options are on the table.
