LATEST NEWS: Justin Fields is currently highly favored to be acquired by an NFC team in a significant trade deal.

The Chicago Bears are expected to trade Justin Fields in the near future, with it being widely anticipated. Bears general manager Ryan Poles has indicated that if the team decides to select a quarterback with the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, they will ensure to handle Fields’ situation appropriately by likely trading him sooner rather than later.

Speculation points towards the Bears potentially targeting former USC quarterback Caleb Williams with their top draft selection. With about two months remaining before the draft, all signs are pointing in that direction.

Pro Football Focus Betting has provided further insight into this matter, with Fields’ odds of joining the Atlanta Falcons now significantly favored at -250, compared to the initial opening odds of +350. This substantial shift suggests that there may be insider knowledge influencing these odds.

The Falcons have been frequently linked to Fields in recent weeks, and they are reportedly considering moving up from their current No. 8 pick in the draft. Acquiring Fields, who is still young at 24, could be an attractive option for the Falcons, potentially requiring them to part with a second-round pick and additional assets, which could be a more feasible option compared to trading up for one of the top-three quarterback prospects.

While Fields’ performance since being drafted 11th overall by the Bears in 2021 has been mixed, he possesses considerable upside. He could thrive in Atlanta alongside emerging talents like running back Bijan Robinson, tight end Kyle Pitts, and wide receiver Drake London, forming a dynamic young offensive core.
