Justin Fields is reportedly on the move, and it seems he will be battling for a job.
The Chicago Bears, owner of the No. 1 pick, are said to be sending Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The reported deal comes just days after they already inked nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson to a one-year deal.
The writing has been on the wall for Fields to be moved as soon as the Bears clinched the top selection – they acquired the pick via trade last year from the Carolina Panthers, who moved up last year to select Bryce Young.
But it became apparent that options were limited, as several teams, including the Steelers, went through free agency to pick new quarterbacks.
However, the Steelers apparently were never out of the picture.
The Bears are reportedly set to receive a 2025 sixth-round pick that would become a fourth-rounder if Fields plays in 51% of snaps this upcoming season.
Fields was the 11th overall selection in 2021 after the Bears traded up from the 20th pick.
This now all but confirms Chicago will take USC quarterback Caleb Williams – they also own the ninth selection in the NFL Draft.
This is a developing story. More to comeā¦
