A guy that's currently in Chicago and we thought had
a robust trade market really hasn't had that and there
doesn't seem to be all that many availabilities around the
National
Football League. Of course we're talking about Justin Fields,
the Bears first round pick back in 2021.
But with that first overall pick here in 2024,
the belief is the Bears are interested in shipping Justin
Fields.
What are you hearing about those potential landing spots for
the Bears quarterback?
Yeah, Ben, he's a backup at this point.
I mean, the the starting jobs are gone pretty much
and the jobs that would be open are going to
be filled by first round picks.
So Justin Fields is and the Bears,
if they're just not able to find that landing spot
for him,
I I told Pharrell two weeks ago,
don't believe what you're hearing about Atlanta of Justin Fields.
It's not accurate. Yes, they talked to the Bears.
So did the Steelers.
Atlanta was never going to happen because they're running a
West Coast offense.
Justin fields his talented Ben as he is,
he's not a precision passer.
He doesn't throw with good enough time.
He's not accurate enough and that that look the league
tells you all you need to know when a guy
this talented is not moved.
And I know we're not the draft yet.
When it's kind of a loose deadline when all these
chairs are fit.
Joe Flacco last night.
In my reporting, $4.5 million fully guaranteed with the Colts
just over 8 million maximum.
That was another job, another backup job that went off
the board.
There's some backup jobs, open them,
but that's pretty much it.
Again, it's a situation where the Bears knew that he
would have some value,
but I think they kind of oversold it.
The word coming back from the combine was they don't
really have that one team that wants them and now
the asking price.
And the word around the league was they would have
loved to get a second round pick.
I don't know if they get a 5 now,
if and when they trade them.
