Justin Fields Trade: Chicago Bears Send QB to Pittsburgh Steelers
Multiple sources state that quarterback Justin Fields is being traded by the Chicago Bears to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, there is a conditional sixth-round draft pick going back to Chicago in the deal that may turn into a fourth-round pick under certain circumstances.
It is presently anticipated that the Bears, who have the first pick in the 2024 NFL draft, would choose USC quarterback Caleb Williams with their first pick. Fields’s market turned out to be less than anticipated, so Chicago sells him to Pittsburgh for a conditional Day 3 selection.
After Pittsburgh traded recent first-round selection Kenny Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday, the Steelers now have a high-upside quarterback in Fields, who will challenge Russell Wilson for the starting job.
