Bears Trade QB Justin Fields to Steelers, Eyeing Draft for New QB
The move allows Chicago to pursue a fresh start at quarterback, likely with USC's Caleb Williams, while Pittsburgh bolsters its QB room with Fields and Russell Wilson.
- The Chicago Bears have traded quarterback Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers, clearing the way for them to draft a new quarterback, likely USC's Caleb Williams, with the No. 1 overall pick.
- Fields, who showed potential with his mobility but struggled with turnovers, joins a revamped Steelers QB room alongside Russell Wilson, who signed a one-year deal.
- The Bears received a conditional 2025 sixth-round draft pick from the Steelers for Fields, which could become a fourth-round pick based on playing time.
- Fields' trade marks a significant shift for both the Bears and Steelers, as Chicago looks to reset its quarterback position and Pittsburgh aims to address short-term and long-term needs at quarterback without significant cap space or draft capital.
- Fields' mobility and ability to extend plays with his legs could align well with Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's balanced offense approach, featuring a strong run game.
