It’s been a frenzied start to NFL free agency, where there have been some massive moves — both signings and trades.
One move that’s yet to happen: The Bears trading quarterback Justin Fields.
Now, it could be because the trade suitors are dwindling. But it could also be because the Bears have yet to make up their mind about what they’re doing at quarterback, as they’ve only met with likely No. 1 pick Caleb Williams for 15 minutes at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Free agency was always going to be important for a trade market developing for Fields, with some big-name veterans on the market, including Kirk Cousins and Baker Mayfield. But the top trade partners for Fields all went out and signed quarterbacks — the the Pittsburgh Steelers (Russell Wilson), Atlanta Falcons (Cousins) and Las Vegas Raiders (Gardner Minshew).
As those signings continue, Fields’ trade market continues to diminish, and it’s hard to predict where Fields will be playing in 2024. As you can imagine, NFL fans had plenty to say about Fields’ nonexistent trade market.
