I don't know the rules, but could the Bears claim him on waivers and then trade him to a team, likeSan Francisco desperate for a QB, for a draft pick?
No more trades allowed this year.

Best thing that could have happened to him.

He will probably end up on some playoff team like the 49ers or the Ravens within the week. Not bad for sucking this year.
He requested his release, and the panthers obliged.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see an nfc team in the playoff hunt claim him before the 9ers just to keep him from going to the 9ers.

He could be picked up for the last 4 games by any team and then let walk to FA and possibly get a team a comp pick for the trouble, imagine it will be by a QB needy playoff team.

I wouldn't mind Mayfield as a potential long-term backup for Fields. Both athletic, similar styles of play... probably a good move with Simien on IR for the year.

He shot all them commercials, too...
He'll fade out and be forgotten as the influx of new qbs come in.
Just a drop of water in a stream, mixed and gone and forgotten it ever was...

Not at this point. In Madden yes, just turn off the trade deadline function :)

Great post. Fields is definitely going to have injuries from time to time. Having a mobile QB that fits the offense is going to be a much easier transition than to a pure pocket passer like Siemian.

The mobile part.....yes (y)

It would be nice if the Rams claimed him and, somehow, won another game or two.
