Chicago Bears Rumors: 3 teams that make sense for Justin Fields
There are a lot of rumors surrounding Justin Fields and the Chicago Bears. They have the number one pick in the 2023 NFL Draft in addition to the most cap space in the league by far. As a result, their options are endless right now. Hopefully, they don’t mess this up.
Getting rid of Justin Fields is risky but it is no lock that he is good enough to win a Super Bowl with. They could trade him for a haul now but that might not be the case next year if he doesn’t have a good season. If they trade him now, they could also use that first pick on their new guy.
A lot of fans wouldn’t like it and that makes sense. There is no guarantee that anyone available in this draft is going to be as good or better than Fields. For that reason alone, it is a risk.
It is also a risk because you don’t know how Fields is going to progress as his NFL career goes on. If he became a star elsewhere, that would be a disaster for Chicago. However, if they do take this risk, there are a few teams that would be in the mix for him.
These are the 3 teams that would make the most sense for the Chicago Bears QB:
1. New York Jets
The New York Jets selected Zach Wilson second overall in the same year that the Bears landed Fields. However, it sounds as if they are done with him already.
They have been linked to guys like Derek Carr, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Aaron Rodgers. Well, Justin Fields makes sense for them as well if the Bears decided to move on.
2. Baltimore Ravens
It sounds like the Baltimore Ravens, like the Chicago Bears, might be interested in trading their quarterback for lots of assets. If they do, landing Justin Fields might be someone that they are interested in replacing Lamar Jackson with.
You’d think that Fields would have a much better chance of succeeding in the NFL playing in a good organization like the Ravens. He’d be able to step in Jackson’s spot and be a really good player so it is something for everyone to consider.
3. San Francisco 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers have a lot of quarterbacks on the books but Trey Lance hasn’t proven that he’s the guy, Jimmy G is always hurt, and Brock Purdy has to prove that he can do it again if he even gets a chance.
This team has the best roster in the league but they weren’t able to get the quarterback play needed to beat the Eagles. If they went out and got Justin Fields, they’d become a Super Bowl favorite even more than they already are.
Again, we don’t know if the Bears will have what it takes in the front office to make this trade but it is something that people are talking about.
