Jarrett Payton's interview of Justin Fields' Pop

I'm telling you man, the Bears are putting together something special. I believe they need to pay #33 though to show that they will invest in their own.

This time feels different to me too, but only because of Justin Fields. I liked him leading up to the draft and nothing has changed for me there.

That said, Jaylon Johnson is good but not great. Maybe he turns in a great year but he's got to prove it. I personally think Poles is angling to let him walk but we'll see.

Hopefully we can pressure the QB enough for JJ to show what he's got.

I wouldn’t mind seeing him dealt at the trade deadline if the season is below average. Eddie Jackson & Whitehair as well.

I agree with your assessment: he's good but not great. I actually think within two years both the rookies drafted this year will be the starting CBs. But it's a different message to the team if he gets beaten out later, as opposed to if you drafted him, he played decent-to-well, and when his contract came up, you didn't sign him. This is made more relevant by them letting Roquan go. I've watched the motivation and morale of talented Bears teams dissipate in the past (like when Mike Ditka told the whole team not to sign external endorsements and then he showed up in commercials).

It all depends on how he plays compared to what he's looking to get paid. I've just got a feeling that Poles will value him lower than he thinks he's worth, not by much but enough to let him walk and (attempt to) replace him with more of a ballhawk, like Tyrique Stevenson. We'll see though. I don't know about the team morale aspect as these guys know it's a business.

It depends on what you can get obviously. It wouldn't be a horrible thing to keep him for the year, let him walk and get a 3rd round comp pick in return for that presuming he earns a big contract.

You only get a comp pick if you don’t sign players to offset it. Roster is still bottom tier in the league so I’m pretty sure Poles will still be signing free agents next year

There's a formula of sorts but yea.

I would expect we sign one or 2 big FAs next year as I think 2024 is shaping up to be when we really take that next step to contenders if Fields is legit. So not likely to get a comp pick IMO givem we have 95m in cap space and 2 first round picks to finish off the first stage of the rebuild.

{I strongly feel} They will be contenders this year.

Spurs security are better at protecting Wemby from Britney Spears than the Bears oline was last year at protecting Fields!

I have never heard that about Ditka and commercials. Serious? What is the source?

Sorry to interrupt the neo Nazi discussion, but here's a pretty good Tyler Scott interview. My favorite anecdote:

How Justin Fields' rare gestures impressed Bears rookie Tyler Scott

Tyler Scott has only been around Justin Fields for a few months but the Bears quarterback has already impressed him with a few rare gestures.
