JF knew by Jan. 8 Bears didn’t want him, Fields was okay being traded to Steelers as a QB2

[JordanSigler]

REPORT: Justin Fields knew the Chicago Bears wanted to trade him on Jan. 8; okay with backup role

Justin Fields was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason. Fields wanted to be traded there even though he'd be a backup.

if he knew 2 days earlier he could have taken the steelers QB room by STORM and maybe kept Russell Wilson out of Pitt!!!

I just wonder if they told him he was going to be traded prior to Jan 8th or if he figured it out because they removed him from all of the group chats and team emails.

"While Fields probably won’t usurp Wilson as Steelers QB1 this season, he’s likely their best option for 2025."

As a FA...??

Call me crazy, but wouldn't it be awfully strange that the teams extend the backup QB while the starting QB is playing, who will also be a FA next season?

Not one player in the NFL wants russ as his QB.

Dont think he's much better than fields as a QB at this point, its not a matter of if but when. I can't see george pickens being happy with Russ.

Now if fields is a good QB going forward is a whole different animal.

Age and $$$. Steelers have the most cost effective QB room outside Houston and hopefully the Bear

Did you forget what Pitt is paying Wilson or that they were surely speaking days before the signing?

I gotta imagine that will speak volumes to potential free agents long term.

Did you forget that it was a joke? What was 2 days before Jan 8?

And you really think Pickens would be happy with Fields? Lmaoooo

Well #1 over all draft picks aren’t exactly cheap… certainly not as cheap as say the last player selected in the draft.. *cough* PURDY.

 

[bamainatlanta]

Pickens would work well with both of them. He’s at his most dangerous in the deep passing game, and that’s what those 2 do best. Russell might be a personality issue but Fields did help recruit Pickens to UGA before he left for OSU.

No surprise he chose to shout out POLES and not FOLES - as they FUCKING HATE EACH OTHER per sources. I hope one day these two former Bears passermen can forgive and move on. #bears #brotherhood
