He’s not perfect but he has shown he can play in this league. Let Daboll get his hands on him. After this season, see what happens and if he walks we get a comp pick in return, more than likely. I’d rather have Fields under center than Jones’ broken neck and contact beyond this year
And Locke was promised a shot to compete for a starting role. Good grief. This could be worse than Dave Brown/Kent Graham if true..which i doubt it is.
DJ is probably not realistically going to be ready until October. That’s week 4-6. I’d rather have Fields than Drew Lock or Tommy DeVito. Plus hell, you never know. He’s only 25. Maybe he naturally takes over DJ for 2025 and you keep him and cut DJ.
Bring him in with a rookie. He plays well and his value goes up next year. This allows you to sit a rookie as well which I prefer. It would also allow to cut DJ which would make people here happy.
I cant help but think of the marketing for diet Dr. Pepper. "Diet Dr Pepper tastes more like regular Dr Pepper". Fields is Diet Dr. Pepper. He's more Jones than Jones is.

Draft Odunze or trade down for a haul, trade a future 4th or this years 5th for Fields. Seems like a good backup option if the chips don't fall our way for qb in rd1.
Cheap back up. They did their spending this year. Some probably get a comp pick for him. Gives the draft pick one year in nfl program before being thrown into starting.
But watching him rush for 1000 yards in Giants blue wouldn’t be the worst thing. If NY couldn’t get their quarterback in this draft, I could think of worse things. A lot of what we lost in Barkley we could get back with fields. He’s an impact runner. If you wanna win games next year and you didn’t get the qb in the draft, and you don’t wanna risk playing Jones, it’s not the worst idea. And if by some miracle Daboll got through to this guy, all the better. He seems one dimensional to me but you could taylor the offense around his legs.

I've heard that too- but imo that is disastous for the new QB. Fields no way thinks of himself as a backup and there will be teammates that support him.
If the Bears take the QB- - tehy aren't looking to sit the new QB to learn. Then what is Fields value? And if he doesn't play or in mopups only then what good was it to keep him? Fourth rd picks could be starters.
Would've made sense instead of Lock, but probably not in addition to, unless draft QB prospects are dim and they're completely done with DJ.
Might be worth it to have a contingency trade agreement as insurance in case first round QB doesn't get drafted.
But, if he can only garner a 4th or 5th, he probably isn't anything but plan D. And if that turns out to be the case, quite the turnaround from all the talk a month ago when it was debated whether Chicago would draft a QB, or stick with Fields.
Giants want Fields? - ( New Window )
NFL insiders are saying Fields is worth a 4th of 5th round pick. So I doubt the Eagles are fleecing anybody.
Fields has only showed he might be less of an injury risk.
For fucks sake, no more Dr. Pepper.
What? No, it is the Jones issue all over again...
Agree

Than trading up for Maye

No thanks.
Giants get that stud Receiver in rd 1 and you see how Fields perfroms with a real coach.
+1 reg Fields. You aren;t giving up a 1 or a 2. SO what are you losing? He's a pretty good pickup.
And Fields has 1 year to show. He's gonna have a stud WR beucase Giants will certainly get the WR.
Even if he sucks, someone will sign him to a decent backup QB deal,a nd you get the 4 or 5 back as a comp pick.
If he’s decent, you get a 3 or 4 back, plus one year of inexpensive QB play.
And if he is magically great, you got one year great QB, get a 3rd comp pick, or can franchise/transition tag him if you want to.
Literally the worst case scenario is you get your pick back, one year later…

Do people actually watch that show? That is brutal.
I don't but it came up in my feed because I was watching Giants junk this evening. Ordinarily nfw.
Keep your fetishes to yourself.

Not until after next season (at the earliest) and not necessarily by the team that trades for him.

If JS cannot make the deal to lock down their QB target and lets say Maye/JJM go before 6, you play Fields.
I think we all know DJ will not play again and is likely a post June 1st cut.
Fields is dirt cheap this year and they have the option for tear 5 if they need it.
If they cannot get QB at 6, try to trade down - I would try to get a 1st for next year if possible.
Run out Fields/Lock/Devito for 24 with an eye on the QB class for 25.
Draft someone like Brian Thomas in mid rd 1.
