Some snippets:
“All rookies are extension eligible after their third season, while teams can exercise fifth-year options on first-round draft picks (Fields was chosen 11th overall by Chicago in 2021) ahead of a player's fourth season.
Fields' future hinges on how successful he is this fall. That's not lost on the 24-year-old quarterback, who says his future earnings are currently the furthest thing from his mind.
"I'm not worried about contracts, I'm worried about wins," Fields said. "I could care less."
And…
“Following the Bears' second OTA practice on Tuesday, the quarterback addressed the multitude of moves made by the Chicago front office since March. Fields expressed excitement over the addition of Moore, who was traded to Chicago by Carolina in a package of draft picks in exchange for the No. 1 overall pick.
"DJ brings great talent to this team -- just his personality, it fits in well with everybody really from the first day he got here," Fields said. "He's a hard worker, a great player. His personality, I think just the way he acts around the guys, he just fits in really well with our team. Definitely excited about that."

"It's truly amazing when you have that feeling going in, knowing where your guys are going to be, more comfortable with the footwork stuff," Fields said.
That's something offensive coordinator Luke Getsy noticed from the QB as well, recently claiming that Fields is "light years ahead of where he was" at this point last year.
Those who are getting to witness Fields' command of the offense for the first time -- even players on defense -- have been impressed by the quarterback's leadership on and off the field.
"Tremendous athlete," linebacker
Tremaine Edmunds said. "Obviously he's a lot bigger than I thought he was. Obviously, I played against him last year, but seeing him every day, hard worker, leader. You can see that he makes guys around him better. He leads from the front. His work obviously speaks for itself. Just seeing him go out there every day and grow, develop, spreading the ball around, just his thinking. I'm seeing it firsthand and I'm excited. They got a lot of good things going on the offensive side. With his leadership and ... obviously his playmaking abilities, it's something to be excited about for sure."
