The Bears Justin Fields trade talk drama

GFAN52 : 2/20/2024 1:13 pm
"Bears fans are speculating Justin Fields and the Chicago Bears are headed for a divorce after the quarterback appeared to cut ties with the team on Instagram.

Social media was buzzing when some eagle-eyed fans noticed Fields is no longer following Chicago’s official Instagram account.

It’s unclear if the 24-year-old Fields was following the team at all — and if he was, it has not been confirmed when he unfollowed the account."

Yeah, saw a tweet earlier that he unfollowed the team and started following some of the Falcons A-teamers. That would be a good spot for him IMO.
Gotta love

Deciphering 20 something year olds social media following, likes, not following, blocks etc. Good luck with that.

Well, Vegas doesn’t agree with you. He’s now -900 to go to the Bears and Atlanta is the favorites to land him. And whether you like how it’s handled or not, it’s extremely notable and relative to the draft, and for the Giants if they plan on moving up.
I'm betting when they set their draft board

that Maye and McCarthy will be the top 2 QBs on the Giants board. How they play fits what Schoen and Daboll want in a QB.
If the Bears gave up #9, a 2nd rounder, and Fields  
Metnut : 2/20/2024 2:41 pm : link
would they be enough to get them to #3? They could then take Williams and MHJ and be in business.

It's just childish stupid nonsense. I think he's done in Chi town too. But this shit is the height of stupid. I fucking hate social media more and more with every passing day. I reserve the right to yell at the clouds whenever the cesspool of humanity's downfall is mentioned.
It’s really not that serious

kids playing a game posturing via the media on where they end up so those fans can watch them play a game is what you are getting all riled about up. Buckle up, this strategy isn’t going away.
Fields can see the handwriting on the wall.  
Section331 : 2/20/2024 3:18 pm : link
Chicago isn’t passing up taking a potential generational QB because they have Justin Fields. Even if you thought Williams would be another Fields-type QB, drafting him buys you 3 more years on a rookie contract. Chicago isn’t passing that up.

My question is, do they tag him before trading him, or pass on it? I would think any team trading for him would want the tag, but what do I know?

I'd be surprised if Williams is on the board at all. Doesn't seem like the type Mara would want as the face of the franchise.

And why wouldn't Mara want Williams as the face of the franchise?
Alot of speculation here he could wind up with the Pats.  
BigBlueNH : 2/20/2024 5:17 pm : link
If the Pats aren't thrilled with choice #3 at QB, they could trade for Fields and also grab MHJ. In which case, the Zona and LAC picks would potentially be available to teams looking to move up for a top 3 QB.
We've seen this with Kyler Murray

Pats passing on a QB would be ideal.

It's not hard to conclude that based on the Giants Way.

However, if they come to their senses and go big for a QB, let's hope Schoen has a set of criteria that doesn't follow any of the old, stodgy Mara criteria...

Not sure about this yet.

We know Beane and Schoen wanted Josh Allen back in 2018. We know that Schoen and Daboll were iffy with Jones at the beginning of 2022 but he showed them what they wanted to see, at least for that year.

I think this may still be TBD for these draft prospects.

He had already been following some of those Falcons players like Pitts. They worked together in the offseason.

Possibly his agents looking for a future commitment and not getting one.
Fields explained why
