Man imagine getting a guy who has shown he belongs in the NFL at the QB position, and a guy who has also improved every year… for a third round pick

If that’s the value you’d think someone would bite right away.

Well he's no Chase Claypool....so that asking price comes down a little bit.

Josh Rosen was traded for a second and his career stats at the time were less than what Justin had this year. And Justin was injured.

The problem is the looming second contract. Bears want Justin back, but probably don’t see him as a $40-45m/year QB, which is where the market is now.

Correct.

Why taking your chances with a rookie is worth it.

Makes sense on paper, but rarely works in reality.
To naturally have a top3 pick (to get the QB without trading up), the team needs to be legitimately bad.
Bad oline, mediocre skill players, no starter at QB, poor pass rush, etc.
So then they get their QB (itself a bet with low odds) and have to ramp all of that in 2 years to get a 2 year window -- and then back to square one having to pay the QB.
In practice, it becomes a vicious cycle more often than not. Always chasing the next "Mel Kiper special" QB, throwing them to the wolves and not building around them.

I hope they do trade Fields and draft Caleb. He will not be a team player when it comes to the state of that Oline, and spill all the tea.
And maybe that's what Chicago needs.
A prima donna with an ownership share :roll2: who tells everyone the team sucks in the middle of press conferences; forcing ownerships hand to either mark him as toxic and try again or unfuck themselves.

The Bengals and Dolphins were close, but will both need to pay Burrow and Tua in 2024.

Yeah. I'm not a Bears fan (not even an NFL fan); I'm a Justin Fields fan. In any event, I'm coming around to the notion of him moving on and getting a chance somewhere that hasn't had their heads up their asses for decades. And Justin has been too much of a team player.
