Because we have no idea what their plan is.

If they want to keep fields they likely let him know, but they have no advantage letting the rest of the NFL know.

We don't even know the bears have caleb as their top QB in the draft. These are all assumptions made by talking heads

True but letting teams fill their QB needs can lower the value of the 1st pick. There's a reason Poles traded it by now last year. I suppose that a rookie contract is small enough that a team could still anti up and pull a Glennon on their newly acquired 'starter'.

 

[pdxbearsfan]

surprised there arent field supporters claiming its collusion or teams just dont know how good he is etc...

Collusion? This is/was the plan all along to not get a good offer for JF so they can keep him to build out the team.
No one will say they should have just given him away.

 

[Leon Sandcastle]

OK but fields saying he was staying off social media suggests he knew things were going to get heated in the media? What that means in terms of the decision the Bears makes I don't know. Maybe they really haven't made up their minds yet. Williams hasn't visited yet.

It's a huge decision. I would hope Poles wouldn't make up his mind without a visit

 

[Brownie]

No way should the Bears just give Fields away.

Dudes are wild. Now they don't want JF around cuz it might hurt Caleb's feelings smh.

I saw someone say "Just cut him and get him outta here!" on this forum earlier.

 

[msadows]

Up until today I really thought you could keep him for a backup or something but the longer this goes on the more I realize what an absolute disaster it would be. First bad play a rookie had and you would have half the stadium yelling “we want Justin”.

You act like that wont happen no matter who the backup is. This is chicago, we shit on the young QB every time.

How is Atlanta going to afford the crazy money Cousins is looking for?

Magic.

Fields can go bang out calebs mom and cry in her titties too

LOL I played DT in college. Thanks for the lesson, though!

DT pressure also doesn't collapse the outside, it collapses the inside, so the QB isn't able to step up. Just for the next time you attempt to explain something like this.

Shut up if you didn't play in the pros. Different game guy....

Lol, just kidding. Interior pressure doesn't collapse the outside like he said. But to his point, interior pressure can wreak havoc without the stats to necessarily show that. It leads to a lot of unscripted adjustments from the offense during any given play. Which is important like you said with stepping up, throwing comfortably, and such.

Does anyone except the Bears front office and league GMs really know that nobody wanted Fields?

I do not think we know if Poles was even willing to trade him and if so we have no idea what Poles was asking for.
Maybe he was demanding a first round pick? Does anyone really think any of the media knows for certain?

None of the teams who were considering/rumored to take a QB in the first round have done anything FA wise.

Wash, NE, Denver, Vegas, Seattle

No one knows if the bears are shopping #1 or Fields because the bears were never calling teams about either....They were letting the calls come to them.

Which is why this is all hearsay based on assumptions people expect to happen. It was always that, but people believed that poles was leaking info to brad biggs while brad was struggling to eat his 10th big mac of the day.

Drama queens say that's impossible

They've fallen all the way in love. Bros are living in CandyLand.

Lol?

Craig weighs in

 

[Leon Sandcastle]

My feeling is Poles never wanted to trade Fields. He’d be gone if they got offered anything.

You know how many people this is about to upset

Lol?

Craig is the first one to say "not to listen to the media" but now he's all about what Rappaport says

 

[remydat]

Maybe gather ALL info first before jumping into a convo?

I respond as I read. I am not going to read a hundred posts and then go back and try and find the ones I want to respond to. That would be inefficient. If it bothers you that much then try and articulate your point the first time around as it isn't my fault you didn't fully flesh out your argument until subsequent posts.

Ian Rapoport Reveals Extent Of Bears' Leverage In Justin Fields' Trade Market

People think the Chicago Bears don't have much leverage in any Justin Fields trade. That is far from the actual truth.

if you guys want to flesh out what rap said there, he did it himself in this feb article.

Considering he's just a guy on CCS, he isnt going to upset anyone

To be fair, if rap/schefter says it, then I believe it.

Those other guys are morons and worthless. Rap/Schefter have connection to all the top agents.
